At a time when political writing and cultural criticism have come to be dominated by an insipid and unthinking moralism, David Rieff's essays offer a bracing antidote. The writings collected in Desire and Fate cover topics as diverse as censorship in contemporary publishing, the cultural ubiquity of the notion of trauma, and the future of democracy on a global level.
They are all characterised, however, by an incisive intelligence and a refreshing lack of wishful thinking; together they confirm Rieff's status as an indispensable writer and thinker.
