As a writer—of novels, essays, memoirs, poems—Kingsnorth’s engagement with the world comes filtered through words. Consequently, when something goes awry in his relationship to those words, his whole world starts to fall apart. Rather than bringing on a case of writer’s block, however, this crisis makes Kingsnorth reassess what words—those demanding, relentless “savage gods”—want from him and how he can live an authentic life through or despite them. The quest launches him into this extraordinary set of reflections—as eloquent as they are anguished—that range from literary to philosophical to spiritual to socio-cultural as he considers his roles and responsibilities to his family, to the environment, to culture.
