Review – Naomi Booth’s Animals at Night

Here’s my review of Naomi Booth‘s Animals at Night on the Mechanics’ Institute Review:

In that sense, Booth is writing for our times. That the world can be a frightening place is a given, what we need is solutions that help us get through it, as individuals and as a society. Those solutions come through community, communion, conversation, through humanity presenting itself, one human to another. There’s a good heartedness that runs through Booth’s work that is practically a pact. Situations can end well; it’s not that they will, it’s just that they can. In a world where we’re up against it from every angle – ecologically, democratically, emotionally – Booth’s message of hope is powerful, important, and arguably the only bargain with the future that we can make.
