Godless in Eden: A book of essays

by Fay Weldon

A collection of journalism from a topical and entertaining author.
A cornucopia of a book, Godless in Eden brings together a selection of lectures and essays contributed to newspapers, magazines and books over recent years, revised for this volume, and all highly relevent to today. From the changing face of government, the feminisation of politics, life in Tony Blair’s godless and un-idealogical New Garden of Eden, to whence and whither Feminism via the new cult of Therapism, to our turbulent and benighted royals by way of Roseanne and Jamie Lee Curtis.
A final treat in the final section, Growing Up and Moving On, some wonderfully incisive autobiographical snippets of Weldonian life and times.

[George Henderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good read from a still under-rated writer, made me lol that Weldon, of all people, is thinking, in 1999, the thoughts that Jordan Peterson would catch hell for speaking out loud in 2016-ish. The link? Carl Jung.
