{"product_id":"the-witches-are-coming","title":"The Witches Are Coming by Lindy West","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this wickedly funny cultural critique, the New York Times bestselling author of the critically acclaimed memoir and Hulu series Shrill exposes misogyny in the #MeToo era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a witch hunt. We're witches, and we're hunting you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the moment powerful men started falling to the #MeToo movement, the lamentations began: this is feminism gone too far, this is injustice, this is a witch hunt. In The Witches Are Coming, Lindy West, turns that refrain on its head. You think this is a witch hunt? Fine. You've got one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique, West extolls the world-changing magic of truth, urging readers to reckon with dark lies in the heart of the American mythos, and unpacking the complicated, and sometimes tragic, politics of not being a white man in the twenty-first century. She tracks the misogyny and propaganda hidden (or not so hidden) in the media she and her peers devoured growing up, a buffet of distortions, delusions, prejudice, and outright bullsh*t that has allowed white male mediocrity to maintain a death grip on American culture and politics—and that delivered us to this precarious, disorienting moment in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe cannot understand how we got here‚—how the land of the free became Trump's America—without examining the chasm between who we are and who we think we are, without fact-checking the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and each other. The truth can transform us; there is witchcraft in it. Lindy West turns on the light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heather \u0026 Pine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46260268073132,"sku":"9780316449861","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/1683\/0124\/files\/9780316449861.jpg?v=1778998637","url":"https:\/\/heatherandpinebooks.com\/products\/the-witches-are-coming","provider":"Heather \u0026 Pine Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
