For pol Phil. A very well thought out and well-written book, attempting to distinguish ‘Lordean Rage’ from other types of anger and argue for the political value of this kind of anger. I thought the first three chapters, in particular, were outstanding. The second part of the book was still very good but not quite as tight — all in all, though, a very valuable contribution to the literature on anger, spelling out a lot of the intuitive disagreements I had when reading Nussbaum on anger.

MA reading but super super good.

Old diss reading… bring me back to my English days….

Very good and very interesting but felt a little constrained by its shortness. The writing certainly feels to be slightly speeding past what is most interesting in this book, particularly towards the end. I thought the first chapter, on consent, was by far the most interesting and well thought-out section of the book, but it’s nonetheless strong throughout and certainly a very valuable contribution to ‘pop-Philosophy’ feminist literature.

eerie and profound — pretty much exactly what I’d expect from Olga Tokarczuk!
