Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072 by Eman Abdelhadi, M.E. O'Brien

3.5

This is such an important book. I’m so grateful for it and the questions it explores, which I haven’t really seen anywhere else. I really chaffed against the fake oral history structure—I just hate when authors write about these things from the outside rather than live within it. The dialogue was also super clunky at times, it’s clear the authors weren’t fiction writers. May there be more books like this to come!
