Reviews
"The Death of Truth is destined to become the defining treatise of our age. Not only does it brilliantly and incisively diagnose the roots of our decaying social and political order; it also shows why we must rescue the truth before it is buried under a regime of lies. Everyone should read this book." --David Grann, "Kakutani has written the first great book of the Trump administration. The Death of Truth is a fiery polemic against the president and should go down as essential reading. In nine exquisitely crafted broadsides, the Pulitzer winner calls upon her vast knowledge of literature, philosophy and politics to serve up a damning state of the union." -- Rolling Stone "The Death of Truth is destined to become the defining treatise of our age. Not only does it brilliantly and incisively diagnose the roots of our decaying social and political order; it also shows why we must rescue the truth before it is buried under a regime of lies. Everyone should read this book." --David Grann "This book is essential reading today." -- Walter Isaacson "A rich, erudite book. . . . She brilliantly explains the cultural and political forces that brought us to our current sorry condition -- a must read." --Fareed Zakaria "Dazzling. . . . Kakutani's slender, fiery new book . . . could have been written only by someone who reads more, and retains more, than most mere mortals." -- TIME "Without the truth we will be neither prosperous nor virtuous nor free. This book begins the self-defense of American culture. May it reach a generation that will make narcissism passé and factuality sexy." -- Timothy Snyder "This is the book I would have written--but only if I had had a brilliant grasp of literature, politics, and history, and the ability to weave them together in a uniquely original way. The Death of Truth goes indelibly to the dark, dark heart of what is ailing our democracy as no recent book has done." -- Graydon Carter "Kakutani's The Death of Truth is politically urgent and intellectually dazzling. She deftly goes behind the daily headlines to reveal the larger forces threatening democracy at home in America, and elsewhere around the globe. The result is a brilliant and fascinating call to arms that anyone who cares about democracy ought to read immediately." --Jane Mayer "A fantastic book of cultural criticism that aims to skewer the falsities in our contemporary world--propagated by social media and political rhetoric--that have turned American culture upside-down." -- Esquire "An elegant polemic against Trump, tyranny and lies." -- The Times "A pointed and penetrating book. . . . The Death of Truth offers a clear-eyed, eloquent assessment of the current predicament. . . . This book is essential for understanding the corrosive effects of an ongoing, relentless assault on truth." -- The San Francisco Chronicle "An intellectually dazzling read." --Entertainment Weekly "Essential. . . . The Death of Truth is Kakutani's first book, and to say it's a doozy would be an understatement." -- Bustle "Anyone wanting a concise summary of the death of truth should turn to Michiko Kakutani's eponymous book." --Edward Luce, The Financial Times "Riveting, righteous and relevant." -- The Irish Times "A book to which readers could turn for generations to come as an explainer on how the once-unthinkable came to pass." -- Longreads

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic comes an impassioned critique of America's retreat from reason We live in a time when the very idea of objective truth is mocked and discounted by the occupants of the White House. Discredited conspiracy theories and ideologies have resurfaced, proven science is once more up for debate, and Russian propaganda floods our screens. The wisdom of the crowd has usurped research and expertise, and we are each left clinging to the beliefs that best confirm our biases. How did truth become an endangered species in contemporary America? This decline began decades ago, and in The Death of Truth , former New York Times critic Michiko Kakutani takes a penetrating look at the cultural forces that contributed to this gathering storm. In social media and literature, television, academia, and politics, Kakutani identifies the trends--originating on both the right and the left--that have combined to elevate subjectivity over factuality, science, and common values. And she returns us to the words of the great critics of authoritarianism, writers like George Orwell and Hannah Arendt, whose work is newly and eerily relevant. With remarkable erudition and insight, Kakutani offers a provocative diagnosis of our current condition and points toward a new path for our truth-challenged times., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NEW YORK TIMES Editors' Choice From the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic comes an impassioned critique of America's retreat from reason We live in a time when the very idea of objective truth is mocked and discounted by the occupants of the White House.
