The Interestings

Jovem, brilhante e ambiciosa, Greer Kadetsky acaba de ser aceite na prestigiada universidade de Yale com uma bolsa de estudo. Para entrar, basta preencher um formulário. Algo que os pais, na sua descontracção de hippies da velha guarda, não fazem. É assim que ela se vê relegada para uma universidade de segunda linha enquanto o namorado, Cory, filho de imigrantes portugueses, concretiza o sonho de ambos e segue para Yale. Enquanto se debate com a inesperada falta de rumo, Greer conhece a carismática Faith Frank, figura icónica do feminismo americano. Ao assistir a uma palestra de Faith, a chama que Greer temia extinta ilumina-se. Anos depois, já terminada a faculdade, Cory dedica-se à alta finança enquanto Greer luta pelos seus ideais com fervor. São percursos distintos que os obrigam a confrontarem-se com a complexidade da vida adulta. Aos poucos, ambos se afastam do futuro que sempre imaginaram para si próprios. E um dia, vão perceber como estão longe daquilo que sonharam ser.

The American Civil Liberties Union partners with award-winning authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman in this “forceful, beautifully written” (Associated Press) collection that brings together many of our greatest living writers, each contributing an original piece inspired by a historic ACLU case. On January 19, 1920, a small group of idealists and visionaries, including Helen Keller, Jane Addams, Roger Baldwin, and Crystal Eastman, founded the American Civil Liberties Union. A century after its creation, the ACLU remains the nation’s premier defender of the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. In collaboration with the ACLU, authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman have curated an anthology of essays “full of struggle, emotion, fear, resilience, hope, and triumph” (Los Angeles Review of Books) about landmark cases in the organization’s one-hundred-year history. Fight of the Century takes you inside the trials and the stories that have shaped modern life. Some of the most prominent cases that the ACLU has been involved in—Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, Miranda v. Arizona—need little introduction. Others you may never even have heard of, yet their outcomes quietly defined the world we live in now. Familiar or little-known, each case springs to vivid life in the hands of the acclaimed writers who dive into the history, narrate their personal experiences, and debate the questions at the heart of each issue. Hector Tobar introduces us to Ernesto Miranda, the felon whose wrongful conviction inspired the now-iconic Miranda rights—which the police would later read to the man suspected of killing him. Yaa Gyasi confronts the legacy of Brown v. Board of Education, in which the ACLU submitted a friend of- the-court brief questioning why a nation that has sent men to the moon still has public schools so unequal that they may as well be on different planets. True to the ACLU’s spirit of principled dissent, Scott Turow offers a blistering critique of the ACLU’s stance on campaign finance. These powerful stories, along with essays from Neil Gaiman, Meg Wolitzer, Salman Rushdie, Ann Patchett, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Louise Erdrich, George Saunders, and many more, remind us that the issues the ACLU has engaged over the past one hundred years remain as vital as ever today, and that we can never take our liberties for granted. Chabon and Waldman are donating their advance to the ACLU and the contributors are forgoing payment.
