I've only been reading non-fiction since September 12, 2001, which is why I get a bit impatient with article titles like Chris Hedges' Why the Enlightened Liberal Class Is Complicit in the Country's Downward Spiral.
I just roll my eyes and think "Duh, no shit, buddy! Who is NOT complicit?"
See, I've been trying to figure out what is behind the news for years now. I take it in now with 4 authors' writings in mind; John Perkins , Naomi Klein , Greg Palast and most importantly, Chalmers Johnson .
Why?
Because these 4 authors not only understand shit that I don't, but they can explain the who, what, where and why it is important for me to understand what they write.
Here is a great new interview with Johnson that I happened to miss while I was attempting to escape into TV series on Netflix.
