The WisCon Chronicles, Volume 2: Provocative Essays on Feminism, Race, Revolution, and the Future by
juliemawesome's review
4.0
More smart people saying really smart things! I liked this volume a little better than the one before. There were a few more shorter pieces, including several people's answer to what the think the politics being discussed at Wiscon 41 will be.
There are several long pieces on the same panel, the 'revolution' in the subtitle of the book. That's not a panel I would've attended. A lot of the discussion was uninteresting to me, and some of it incomprehensible. I don't have the background. So I skipped one of the pieces on this, though I did read the others.
At the end is the GoH speech by Kelly Link and Laurie Marks. It's really good. And I really, really wish I had been there to see it live and in person. I'm sure it was a much different experience from reading the script.
Overall, a very interesting read. And it's just a shame there were none of these before Wiscon 30. (At least, I don't think there were.)
