Penny Red by Laurie Penny
Selected writings from a prominent voice of the activist left
'Penny is re-inventing the language of dissent, delivering verbal taser-barbs to the left and right, and causing apoplexy among the old men in cardigans who run the British blogosphere' -- Paul Mason, economics editor of BBC's Newsnight
'Cuts, sexism and riots, Laurie Penny's fresh and angry voice captures the moment and the important issues' -- Polly Toynbee
'In riots, kettles and occupations, and with visceral anger, big-eyed desperation and wicked humour, this is Laurie Penny at her very best; filing articles on her Blackberry from the front line and giving a voice to a generation already at the end of its tether' -- Dan Hancox, author of Kettled Youth (2011)
