QuickviewThe Antiracism Trainings by David Reich

He's fearlessly unpious, observant, and witty, but he's also fair to his flawed and often enjoyably irksome characters. His gift for finding nuanced humanity in their semi-good intentions gives warmth and life to this quietly ambitious satire. —Carlo Rotella$22.00 -
