Review:
In this unusual memoir, author Mary Kay Blakely finds herself no longer capable of overlooking the cruelty and violence of modern political life. Having lost faith in government, having found herself unable to get near a newstand without weeping, she escapes to rural Michigan to contemplate her own anomie--and that of her country. Blakely decides that "political depression" consists of the inability to distance oneself from the news--and considers that it might be an approaching epidemic. Well-researched, well-written, and frighteningly topical, this account may strike a chord with many modern readers.
