Book description
From the New Yorker staff writer and acclaimed author of Future Sex ("introspective and breathtakingly honest" -New York Times Book Review), 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. Review"There are moments in this book when Witt elevates writing about altered states of consciousness to something akin to the most brilliant art criticism I've ever read in my life. With shocking precision and honesty, she maps zones of transcendence and devastation, freedom and repression, both in the individual mind and in the collective experience of America. Health and Safety is a tribute to the profound and radical potential in substances that insist on bringing another world into being, and an acute, heartbroken reckoning with their limits, too." Jia Tolentino, New York Times bestselling author of Trick MirrorReview"Health and Safety is a foreboding and panoramic account of a subculture, relationship, and country in crisis. Radical, lucid, and harrowing." Anna Wiener, New York Times bestselling author of Uncanny ValleyReview"No one writes about contemporary American life - about drugs, sex, dating, madness - with as hard an edge as Emily Witt. Health and Safety is a masterpiece of observation and analysis. Read it if you can." Keith Gessen, author of A Terrible CountryReview"Witt, with a gimlet eye and a voice that never shies away from the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it makes us, offers a tour of the years that begin with the surreal catastrophe of the 2016 election and through the COVID years and the murder of George Floyd, giving us insight to a time that all too often feels like a nightmare that has, like all dreams, begun to fade from memory. This remarkable book didn't just allow me to relive that time, but helped me to understand it." Ayelet Waldman, author of A Really Good DayAbout the AuthorEmily Witt is a staff writer at The New Yorker. She has covered breaking news and politics from around the country, and has written about culture, sexuality, drugs, and night life. She is the author of the books Future Sex and Nollywood.
