A TIME AND NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW BEST BOOK OF 2024
• From the New Yorker staff writer and acclaimed author of Future Sex comes a memoir about drugs, techno, and New York City
In the summer of 2016, a divisive presidential election was underway, and a new breed of right-wing rage was on the rise. Emily Witt, who would soon publish her first book on sex in the digital age, had recently quit antidepressants for a more expansive world of psychedelic experimentation. From her apartment in Brooklyn, she began to catch glimpses of the clandestine nightlife scene thrumming around her.
In Health and Safety, Witt charts her immersion into New York City’s dance music underground. Emily would come to lead a double life. By day she worked as a journalist, covering gun violence, climate catastrophes, and the rallies of right-wing militias. And by night she pushed the limits of consciousness in hollowed-out office spaces and warehouses to music that sounded like the future. But no counterculture, no matter how utopian, could stave off the squalor of American politics and the cataclysm of 2020.
Affectionate yet never sentimental, Health and Safety is a lament for a broken relationship, for a changed nightlife scene, and for New York City just before the fall. Sparing no one—least of all herself—Witt offers her life as a lens onto an era of American delirium and dissolution.©2024 Emily Witt (P)2024 Random House Audio
Resumo da Crítica
A Most Anticipated Book by Vulture ∙ Bustle ∙ Lit Hub ∙ The Millions ∙ That Eric Alper
"Haunting . . . [Witt] writes with such cool precision . . . . By turns, disdainful, cleareyed, playful, serious, adventurous and terrified . . . it’s a testament to Witt’s skills as a writer that this book is enhanced, and not diminished, by her refusal to reconcile such contradictions."—Jennifer Szalai, New York Times
"Witt’s directness and sincerity are disarming . . . . She is pursuing hard introspective truths with a neutral, unsentimental rigor."—The Atlantic
