An account of the extraordinary meeting between four brilliant political activists: Booker Prize winner Arundhati Roy, NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden, Pentagon Papers insider Daniel Ellsberg & acclaimed actor John Cusack ` What sort of love is this love that we have for countries? What sort of country is it that will ever live up to our dreams? What sort of dreams were these that have been broken?` In 2014, four people met in secret in a hotel room in Moscow. Each was a leading global advocate for government transparency & accountability: they had come together to talk. Over the course of two days, Arundhati Roy, Edward Snowden, John Cusack & Daniel Ellsburg shared ideas & beliefs
- about the Vietnam War & the Pentagon Papers, the NSA & the ongoing crises in the Middle East, the American government & the nature of activism. Co-authored by Roy & Cusack, & interleaving verbatim conversations with narrated recollections, this Penguin Special captures an historic moment. Interrogating the geopolitical forces that shape our world, it is both political & personal, activist & humanist
- irreverent, funny & absolutely urgent. In Things That Can & Cannot Be Said, Arundhati Roy & John Cusack issue a powerful rallying cry, a call to resistance against America`s ongoing, malign hegemony.
