Penny RedNotes from the New Age of Dissent Laurie Penny. Foreword by Warren Ellis Selected writings from a prominent voice of the new activist left. Reflections on being young, broke and angry in the twenty-first century. “Cuts, sexism and riots, Laurie Penny’s fresh and angry voice captures the moment and the important issues – highly recommended.” – Polly Toynbee “Penny is reinventing the language of dissent, delivering verbal taser-barbs to the left and right, and causing apoplexy among the old men in cardigans who run the British blogosphere.” – Paul Mason, economics editor of BBC’s Newsnight |

Is this available for shipping to the US?
sure is, though shipping will take a little longer. Alec
Has there been a change of cover? I admit loving the first one I saw in July with the photo of the riot squad. Although this cover might be more PR friendly and is also arresting. Change of plan or two editions?
Hi Lucy,
You’re right, we have gone through a couple of covers. The previous one was a striking image but the new one, a portrait by Star St. Germain, is unique. And it fits what’s inside perfectly.
