When in doubt

Between the essay, the investigation, the report and the autobiographical story, this second collection by American essayist and radical feminist Ellen Willis gives reading different forms of political literature, a literature of the attempt. From the story of a rape trial to a meditation on the end of counterculture, a plea for a psychoanalytical reading of conflicts politicians to a reflection on the appeal of spirituality, without forgetting a A subtle critique of the family institution, In Doubt opens up a space in which Ellen Willis teaches us to face our fears, our contradictions and our moral or emotional ambiguities.
