A brilliant and unsparing examination of America in the early twenty-first century, Claudia Rankine's
Don't Let Me Be Lonely
invents a new genre to confront the particular loneliness and rapacious assault on selfhood that our media have inflicted upon our lives. Fusing the lyric, the essay, and the visual, Rankine negotiates the enduring anxieties of medicated depression, race riots, divisive elections, terrorist attacks, and ongoing wars--doom scrolling through the daily news feeds that keep us glued to our screens and that have come to define our age.
First published in 2004,
is a hauntingly prescient work, one that has secured a permanent place in American literature. This new edition is presented in full color with updated visuals and text, including a new preface by the author, and matches the composition of Rankine's best-selling and award-winning
Citizen
and
Just Us
as the first book in her acclaimed
American
trilogy.
is a crucial guide to surviving a fractured and fracturing American consciousness--a book of rare and vital honesty, complexity, and presence.
