Plain Radical

by Robert Jensen

What a delightful and important read Plain Radical is! While a number of authors have begun to realize that the flourishing of life--sustainability--can only be achieved through relationships, no one has articulated this concept so well. By focusing on an intimate relationship with one friend it makes the case for communal relationships in a compelling and emotive way. This book is a must read for anyone interested in an inspiring journey of life. — Frederick Kirschenmann, author of Cultivating an Ecological Conscience: Essays From a Farmer Philosopher
