motherpredicate’s Reviews > The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins > Status Update

This is, undoubtedly, one of the books I will remember fondly having read this year.

Tsing weaves a story of inbetween-ness - there are many lives that live at the edges of capitalism, in precarious spaces, and that it is in these spaces that we can better understand how everything far from those edges fits together. Through matsutake, you better understand leaving behind ruin for optimism.

Well worth reading.
