Omschrijving
Informed by his travels across the world and his travails farming a small-holding, in Savage Gods, Paul Kingsnorth asks: what does it mean to belong? What sacrifices must be made to truly inhabit a life. And most urgently for a writer: are words the answer or are they part of the great lie that's killing the world?
"The most incredible book I read this year." David Keenan, Guardian Books of the Year 2019. "Savage Gods is a deeply personal memoir of home and an unusual and frank account of a writer's experience." Melanie Challenger. "Horrible and brilliant and terribly important." Charles Foster. "There are few writers as raw and brave on the page." Los Angeles Review of Books. "Kingsnorth's troublesome words do an unexpectedly moving job of capturing the problem of being, and of writing about it. " Nina Lyon, The Spectator.
