520    "This is a witch hunt. We're witches, and we're hunting 
       you. From the moment powerful men started falling to the 
       #MeToo movement, the lamentations began: this is feminism 
       gone too far, this is injustice, this is a witch hunt. In 
       The Witches Are Coming, firebrand author of the New York 
       Times bestselling memoir and now critically acclaimed Hulu
       TV series Shrill, Lindy West, turns that refrain on its 
       head. You think this is a witch hunt? Fine. You've got 
       one. In a laugh-out-loud, incisive cultural critique, West
       extolls the world-changing magic of truth, urging readers 
       to reckon with dark lies in the heart of the American 
       mythos, and unpacking the complicated, and sometimes 
       tragic, politics of not being a white man in the 21st 
       century. She tracks the misogyny and propaganda hidden (or
       not so hidden) in the media she and her peers devoured 
       growing up, a buffet of distortions, delusions, prejudice,
       and outright bullsh*t that has allowed white male 
       mediocrity to maintain a death grip on American culture 
       and politics -- and that delivered us to this precarious, 
       disorienting moment in history. West writes, "We were just
       a hair's breadth from electing America's first female 
       president to succeed America's first black president. We 
       weren't done, but we were doing it. And then, true to form
       -- like the Balrog's whip catching Gandalf by his little 
       gray bootie, like the husband in a Lifetime movie hissing,
       'If I can't have you, no one can' -- white American voters
       shoved an incompetent, racist con-man into the White 
       House." We cannot understand how we got here -- how the 
       land of the free became Trump's America -- without 
       examining the chasm between who we are and who we think we
       are, without fact-checking the stories we tell ourselves 
       about ourselves and each other. The truth can transform 
       us; there is witchcraft in it. Lindy West turns on the 
       light."--provided by publisher.
