ISResilience is a study of a nation that has had to collectively and individually hang tough like no other country on earth. Imbued in Israel’s DNA is the understanding that survival isn’t optional - it’s a necessity. Any Israeli could have given testimony for this book. Israelis routinely carry on with their day-to-day lives not just when things are calm and peaceful but when rockets are launched at them, during official conflicts and wars and unofficial waves of gruesome terrorism. And they don’t just survive - they thrive.

“Can I kiss you?” It was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of everyone. A previously unfathomable experience. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without the repression he’d carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back.

Listen to the end for an audiobook exclusive: Brett Anderson in conversation with Matt Thorne, author of Prince. Brett Anderson came from a world impossibly distant from rock star success, and in Coal Black Mornings he traces the journey that took him from a childhood as 'a snotty, sniffy, slightly maudlin sort of boy raised on Salad Cream and milky tea and cheap meat' to becoming founder and lead singer of Suede. Anderson grew up in Hayward's Heath on the grubby fringes of the Home Counties.

Beautifully written and narrated
Revisado: 11-19-22
As a fan from the older days - this was such a delight .
Yes, this is so poignant and powerful to listen as one who grew up on the music. But I will argue that people who are outsiders, authentic and those interested in the depth of the creative process of one of the more original voices in the past few decades would enjoy the origin story .
Brett has such a special gift of observation of the mundane and makes it into a seductive landscape you want to engross yourself in.
Looking forward to the next book and the one after that as well as more beautiful music from the beautiful one.

In Recollections of My Nonexistence, Rebecca Solnit describes her formation as a writer and as a feminist in 1980s San Francisco, in an atmosphere of gender violence on the street and throughout society and the exclusion of women from cultural arenas. She tells of being poor, hopeful, and adrift in the city that became her great teacher, and of the small apartment that, when she was 19, became the home in which she transformed herself. She explores the forces that liberated her as a person and as a writer.

One of the most important books of the roaring 20’s
Revisado: 05-30-21
I have read and listened to many of Miss Solnit’s book - but this one is so powerful .
It should be read in Academia as well as by a diverse group of people .
Men, I encourage you to listen it.
Such a deep reflection on the power of voice in our world - and the lack of power of marginalized voices .
An added pleasure was listening to the very end of the book, for the author’s heartfelt acknowledgements.
Highly recommended!
