Reviews

In exploring the fear of breakdown that underlies human existence, McAfee creates a genuine intellectual breakthrough--her book is a stunningly original exploration of the political significance of mourning. This is one of the most thrilling books I have read in years.--Mari Ruti, Distinguished Professor, University of Toronto
