The Shakespeare and Company Interview
Arts:Books
This week, Adam is joined by Naomi Klein, whose new book, Doppelganger is somehow both the most personal and the most all-encompassing of her works to date. Beginning with the highly destabilising, but very intimate experience of repeatedly being mistaken for someone elseāsomeone whose beliefs are, in most respects, fundamentally different to Kleināsāit expands into aĀ penetrating analysis of the āMirror Worldāāthat place populated with rightwing agitators, conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, and wellness influencers which, if you squint just the right amount, can end up looking not too dissimilar to your everyday reality.
