{"product_id":"dont-let-me-be-lonely-an-american-lyric","title":"Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric","description":"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.\n\nFirst published in 2004, Don’t Let Me Be Lonely 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.\n\nDon’t Let Me Be Lonely is a crucial guide to surviving a fractured and fracturing American consciousness―a book of rare and vital honesty, complexity, and presence.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1644452553\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1644452553.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Rankine, Claudia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
