As a Hillary voter, a New York Times reporter, and frequent attendee at her local gay bars, Nellie Bowles fit right in with her San Francisco neighbors and friends\\u2014until she started questioning whether the progressive movement she knew and loved was actually helping people. When her colleagues suggested that asking such questions meant she was \\u201con the wrong side of history,\\u201d Bowles did what any reporter worth her salt would do: she started investigating for herself. The answers she found were stranger\\u2014and funnier\\u2014than she expected.
In Morning After the Revolution, Bowles gives readers a front-row seat to the absurd drama of a political movement gone mad. With irreverent accounts of attending a multiday course on \\u201cThe Toxic Trends of Whiteness,\\u201d following the social justice activists who run \\u201cAbolitionist Entertainment LLC,\\u201d and trying to please the New York Times\\u2019s \\u201cdisinformation czar,\\u201d she deftly exposes the more comic excesses of a movement that went from a sideshow to the very center of American life.
Deliciously funny and painfully insightful, Morning After the Revolution is a moment of collective psychosis preserved in amber. This is an unmissable debut by one of America\\u2019s sharpest journalists.
Nellie Bowles is a writer living in Los Angeles. Previously, she was a correspondent at The New York Times where, as part of a team, she won the Gerald Loeb Award in Investigations and the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Journalism Award.
