Which is good, because these days I find I might need some help directing all these Bad Bad feelings. * Lit Hub’s Most Anticipated Books of 2025 * Against liberal pieties that demand fangless passivity and perfect victimhood, Seyda Kurt's Hate is a welcome tonic. A generous and poetic invitation to marshall ""strategic hate"" for liberatory purposes. I'm delighted to see Kurt's work translated for anglophone readers, so we may all hate better together. -- Natasha Lennard, author of <i>Being Numerous: Essays on Non-Fascist Life</i>
