Description

The essays in Against Everything are learned, original and highly entertaining. They tackle topics such as the tyranny of exercise, food snobbery, childhood sexualization, pop music's philosophical meaning, and the rise and fall of the hipster. Mark Greif also addresses the crisis of policing and the impact of protest movements. Four selections explore the meaning of life, offering a philosophical stance towards oneself and the world. Greif revivifies the thought and spirit of American dissenters for our time and historical situation. Named as one of the best books of the year by several publications, including The Guardian, The Atlantic, New York Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Paris Review, and National Post (Canada).
