Welcome to Insurgent Summer. I’m excited to be reading Letters of Insurgents again, and I’m equally excited to be sharing the experience because – as I always say – I think that it’s the best novel ever written. That’s a bold statement, and I’m willing to stand behind it.
I was introduced to the book when my friend Aragorn! brought in two chapters to share at an anarchist reading group. Aragorn! described his relationship with the book with the following sentence:
“When you read this, you will understand me better.”
After reading those two chapters, I decided to read the entire book. I was blown away throughout my adventure with the novel and decided when finishing it that I agreed with Aragorn!’s description.
