- Summary:
- Shows what politically progressive creative writers were feeling in the wake of George W Bush's re-election. This book presents the work of essayists who look beyond the passions of the moment - the war in Iraq, the rallying of the Right around social issues, the Democrats' failure in 2004 - to the need for unity.
