What if you woke up one morning and found you’d acquired another self—a double who was almost you and yet not you at all? What if that double shared many of your preoccupations but, in a twisted, upside-down way, furthered the very causes you’d devoted your life to fighting against? Not long ago, the celebrated activist and public intellectual Naomi Klein had just such an experience—she was confronted with a doppelganger whose views she found abhorrent but whose name and public persona were sufficiently similar to her own that many people got confused about who was who.

Astonishingly good book for our fractured times
Revisado: 04-19-24
Ms. Klein is a thoughtful and articulate writer who digs deep into the divides that plague us. Ms. Klein's narration of her book is superb, thanks in part to the pleasant sound of her voice. This book provides a detailed analysis of how the Covid-19 pandemic supercharged the radicalization of vast swaths of the U.S. population and gave rise to scary new alliances. Along the way, Ms. Klein provides an excellent concise history of antisemitism, and she also explains Israeli-Palestinian relations from the 1930s to pre-October 7 2023. Her analysis is reasoned, compassionate and likely helpful to anyone not clear on how we reached the situation on October 7. I found it more balanced than most discussions of the subject.

The use of entheogens, or psychedelics, is out of the closet today. LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and other medicines once associated only with the counterculture are now being legally studied for their healing properties. But as Rachel Harris shows, the underground use and study of psychedelics by women dates back to the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece. Harris interviews the modern women elders carrying on this tradition to gather their hard-won wisdom of experience.

Interesting Book on Psychedelic Therapy
Revisado: 09-01-23
The previous brutal review of this book and especially the narration is unwarranted. Any lack of polish in the author's writing is more than made up for by the interesting and rarely discussed subject matter. In my opinion, Ms. Li has a pleasant voice, impeccable diction and her narration is fine.

In a Tokyo suburb, a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife’s missing cat—and then for his wife as well—in a netherworld beneath the city’s placid surface. As these searches intersect, he encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists. Gripping, prophetic, and suffused with comedy and menace, this is one of Haruki Murakami’s most acclaimed and beloved novels.

The narration is fine.
Revisado: 12-24-21
I avoided getting this book and listened to several other Murakami books first because of all the reviews criticizing the narrator. Having finally downloaded the book and started to listen, I can say the narration is not nearly as bad as the uber-critical reviewers have said. I don't know if Amazon re-recorded it, but the narration is fine now (12/2021) and the book has all the superb Murakami touches one might expect.

Sixteen-year-old Deirdre Monaghan is a painfully shy but prodigiously gifted musician. She's about to find out she's also a cloverhand - one who can see faeries. Deirdre finds herself infatuated with a mysterious boy who enters her ordinary suburban life, seemingly out of thin air. Trouble is, the enigmatic and gorgeous Luke turns out to be a gallowglass - a soulless faerie assassin. An equally hunky - and equally dangerous - dark faerie soldier named Aodhan is also stalking Deirdre. Sworn enemies, Luke and Aodhan each have a deadly assignment from the Faerie Queen.
