Pip Pip by Jay Griffiths
A wonderful piece of polemic against everything thats wrong with the way we deal with time today. IndependentA fascinating, highly original meditation on time… Jay Griffiths exposes the political nature of the linear, mechanical and global time of industrial culture and contrasts it with the myriad "times" embodied in nature's processes, known to indigenous culturesHer writing style is rich and rhythmic, reflecting her main thesis. This is a book which needs to be read slowly." Fritjof Capra, author of The Tao of Physics and Web of Life.
"Ambitious… playful, feminine, spontaneous and hedonistic." – The Economist
"Like the seminal socialist, feminist and ecological works, Pip Pip articulates what thousands have felt but no-one has been able to put into words. Suddenly, shapeless concerns are brought into focus. Outrage takes the place of confusion, fascination displaces complacency. Cheeky, intelligent, always gripping, Pip Pip re-introduces us to a dimension we've utterly neglected. It will be the opening salvo in a new battle over the human spirit." – George Monbiot, columnist, The Guardian
"A wonderfully argued and very moving book" – BBC Radio 4, Open Book
JAY GRIFFITHS read English at Oxford and has written extensively for (amongst others) the Guardian, the Observer, and the London Review of Books. This is her first book.
