The Justice League of People-Of-Color Schadenfreude, (Hardcover)

<b>A group of six Filipino former activists confront the public and themselves following a high-profile murder in this spectacularly satirical new novel from the author of <i>Insurrecto</i></b> <p>In the aftermath of Trump's second election, six Filipino former activists from the Marcos-era resistance gather in New York to eat, bicker, sing songs of schadenfreude, and quote Gramsci. Calling themselves the Justice League of People-of-Color Schadenfreude, they've survived fascism once--and their hard-won understanding of the American moment leaves them clear eyed and mordantly funny. When a member of their circle becomes an accidental witness to a high-profile murder, the group is jolted into new political peril and unexpected forms of solidarity. </p><p>With her wild sense of play and razor-sharp satire, Gina Apostol delivers a novel unlike any she's written before, even as it extends her central preoccupations: the entanglements of the US and the Philippines, empire and authoritarianism, the erasures of history and its stubborn return. <i>Schadenfreude</i> is fun and frustrating, passionate and distressing, terrifically funny and deeply serious--a comic fable for our stupid, evil times, told with insights only Apostol could conjure and with a cast impossible not to adore (or fear).</p>
