((Read_[PDF])) Solitary (Epub Kindle)((Read_[PDF]))Solitary (Epub Kindle)DescriptionPraise for Solitary: FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTIONNamed aTop 10 Best Book of the Year by Publishers WeeklyA New York Times Book ReviewEditorsâ€ Choiceâ€œAn uncommonly powerful memoir about four decades in confinement . . .A profound book about friendship . . . Woodfox reminds us, in Solitary, of the tens of thousands ofmen, women, and children in solitary confinement in the United States. This is torture of a modernvariety. If the ending of this book does not leave you with tears pooling down in your clavicles, youare a stronger person than I am. More lasting is Woodfoxâ€s conviction that the Americanjustice system is in dire need of reform.â€•â€•Dwight Garner, New York Timesâ€œA candid,heartbreaking, and infuriating chronicle . . . as well as a personal narrative that shows howinstitutionalized racism festered at the core of our judicial system and in the countryâ€s prisons .. . Itâ€s impossible to read Solitary and not feel anger . . . A timely memoir of that experiencethat should be required reading in the age of the Black Lives Matter movement. Itâ€s also astory of conviction and humanity that shows some spirits are unbreakable.â€•â€•NPRâ€œHeart-rending . . . Solitary is Woodfoxâ€s pointillist account of an already boxed-inchildhood and adolescence in the streets of New Orleansâ€•by his own admission, an existencemarked by ignorance and devoted to petty and increasingly serious crimeâ€•and the near entiretyof an intellectually and spiritually expansive adulthood spent in one of the most brutal prisons inthe country (and therefore the world) . . . Some of the most touching writing on platonic malefriendship I have every encountered . . . â€˜We must imagine Sisyphus happy,â€ Camusfamously wrote, and such a prompt is the ennobling virtue at the core of Solitary. It lifts the bookabove mere advocacy or even memoir and places it in the realm of stoic philosophy.â€•â€•ThomasChatterton Williams, New York Times Book Reviewâ€œWrenching, sometimes numbing,sometimes almost physically painful to read. You want to turn away, put the book down: Enough,no more! But you canâ€t, because after forty-plus years, the very least we owe Woodfox isattention to his story . . . [Solitaryâ€s] moral power is so overwhelming . . . Solitary should makeevery reader writhe with shame and ask: What am I going to do to help change this?â€•â€•Washington Postâ€œSolitary is evidence of Woodfoxâ€s extraordinary mental resilience in theface of relentless state cruelty. The pacing is brisk, with brief stops to reflect on the UnitedStatesâ€ mass incarceration of black people, Woodfoxâ€s black identity, and his personalphilosophy, much of it centered on the Black Panther Partyâ€s 10-Point Program. Woventogether, these strands form an indictment of the U.S. criminal justice system that should be read
