Dictionary of the Undoing

In Dictionary of the Undoing, author John Freeman confronts the challenges posed by the political landscape post-2016, urging a reevaluation of language's role in public discourse. As he rallies against the erosion of meaning and cultural principles, Freeman curates a collection of essential words—from "Agitate" to "Zygote"—to showcase their renewed significance and power. This work serves as both a call to action and a manifesto for engaging actively as literary citizens, accompanied by an insightful afterword from Valeria Luiselli.
