After the Facts Change
About This Novel
This is public intellectual writing that Judt delivers "with a genuine heart," a book about the pain points of our time. This book is the last collection of Judt's essays compiled and published with a preface by Jennifer Homans, Tony Judt's widow. It contains many important articles written by Judt as a public intellectual. These articles record the changing trajectory of his thinking and represent his continued and passionate involvement in public life. Whether he is talking about the moral dilemmas faced by mankind in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or the French who were selectively blind to the treatment of their own country's Jews during World War II, or his admiration for Camus and Orwell, Judt brings a fair perspective, clear moral judgment and excellent intellectual standards. He reminds us of the hidden crises of this era, allowing us to remember the history of the 20th century as we enter the 21st century, and bringing us closer to the truth of the current world.
