From former New York Times reporter Nellie Bowles comes an irreverent Tom Wolfe-esque romp through the sacred spaces of woke progressivism

Nothing Nellie Bowles card-carrying lesbian, Hillary voter, New York Times reporter-- did shocked her San Francisco neighbors and friends until she started asking whether the progressive movement she loved actually helped people. Gently informed that asking these questions meant she was on the wrong side of history, Bowles did what any reporter worth her salt would do: she started investigating for herself. The answers she found were worse and funnier than she d expected.

In Struggle Sessions, Bowles takes readers inside the world of the elite woke to paint a devastating portrait of a cultural ideology gone awry. With irreverent accounts of attending Robin DiAngelo s multi-day course on The Toxic Trends of Whiteness, meeting the social justice activists who run Abolitionist Entertainment, LLC, and navigating the increasingly deranged world of the New York Times, she deftly exposes the more comic excesses of wealthy progressives. Reporting from the tent cities of San Francisco and visiting Portland streets ravaged by violence, she reveals the tragic consequences of their hypocrisy. 

Deliciously funny and painfully insightful, Struggle Sessions is an unmissable debut by one of America's sharpest journalists. Bowles leaves no liberal shibboleth unchallenged, and her unsettling and unforgettable scenes will be read by readers for years to come.
