Almost done with that book 'Hinterlands' that was recommended here a while ago. Really good analysis of the growth of right-wing militias and interesting nature metaphors. There's a few points where the author wants to be Cormac McCarthy, but it's overall really informative.
Been slowly working my way thru Lise Vogel's 'Marxism and Feminism: Towards a Unifying Theory' I skipped ahead to her introduction to her formulation, and now I'm about halfway thru her review of marxist literature on women's oppression. She's an exceptionally talented theoretician and researcher but it's dry-because-comprehensive. She's one of the few academic leftists/marxists I've read whose use of 'academic voice' feels justified!
Looking for recommendations for novels by non-male writers that deal with feminist or leftist topics without a lot of scenes of graphic violence. I recently read and liked Flight Path by Barbara Kingsolver and the Dispossed by LeGuin.
