“In this volume, Will Pitt continues to show us why he is one of the foremost progressive essayists of our time. In prose that is striking and often lyrical, Pitt paints a vivid picture of the dangerous and disturbing times in which we are living and casts a bright light on the often illegal
conduct of this Administration. Despite this, Pitt never fails to remind us that there is hope and that the power to create change is ours.”
Congressman John Conyers, Jr.
“Will Pitt is an insightful observer of the shameful performance of the Bush administration. His cogent ritiques of what the American people have had to endure these past six years make for a riveting read.”
—Ambassador Joseph Wilson, author of The Politics of Truth
Collecting 33 essays from one of America’s freshest voices, House of Ill Repute skewers the Bush Administration for its reckless invasions, warrantless wiretaps, lethally incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina, and other scandals and blunders.
At the same time, it also refutes the claim that no one could foresee the costs and dangers of these failed policies.
