In this book, Katherine Angel surveys medical and psychoanalytic understandings of female desire, from Freud to Kinsey to present-day science; MeToo-era debates over consent, assault, and feminism; and popular culture, TV, and film to challenge our assumptions about female desire. Why, she asks, do we expect desire to be easily understood? In contrast to the endless exhortation to know what we want, Angel proposes that sex can be a conversation, requiring insight, interaction, and mutual vulnerability.

Insightful but perhaps repetitive
Revisado: 01-20-23
Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again is theoretically complex and constitutes an important contribution to the discussion on sex and consent. However, by staying in the grey area, which is exactly the position that the book argues for, it seems like it avoids strong positions in general, rather resting in this area that cannot offend anyone. While the book fundamentally argues for this softness, for this “indeterminateness” of sex that goes against consent culture and the obligation to know ourselves, which is ultimately liberating, it seems that some theoretical acrobats are taken to arrive at this conclusion. Perhaps the discussion on desire and bodily response is the most innovative chapter, as the clearest argument is made: our bodily responses (arousal) do not constitute consent but rather are simply biological. All in all, it is a good, enriching read but is weakened by the indeterminate nature that resembles the indefinite nature of consent and sex for which it argues

The lifeblood of any free society is persuasion: changing other people’s minds in order to change things. But America is suffering a crisis of faith in persuasion that is putting its democracy and the planet itself at risk. Anand Giridharadas takes us inside these movements and battles, seeking out the dissenters who continue to champion persuasion in an age of polarization. As the book’s subjects grapple with how to call out injustices while calling in those who don’t agree with them but just might one day, they point a way to healing, and changing, a fracturing country.

Wonderfully persuasive
Revisado: 11-29-22
The Persuaders makes it argument thorough stories, anecdotes that are wonderfully convincing and inspiring. I will return to its wealth of information.
