Things That Can and Cannot Be Said - John Cusack

From the bestselling author of The Ministry of Utmost Happiness An extraordinary secret meeting between four brilliant political activists: Booker Prize-winner Arundhati Roy NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden Pentagon Papers insider Daniel Ellsberg and acclaimed actor John Cusack 'What sort of love is this love that we have for countries? What sort of country is it that will ever live up to our dreams? What sort of dreams were these that have been broken?' In 2014 four people met in secret in a hotel room in Moscow. Each was a leading global advocate for government transparency and accountability: they had come together to talk. Over the course of two days Arundhati Roy Edward Snowden John Cusack and Daniel Ellsburg shared ideas and beliefs - about the Vietnam War and the Pentagon Papers the NSA and the ongoing crises in the Middle East the American government and the nature of activism. Co-authored by Roy and Cusack and interleaving verbatim conversations with narrated recollections this Penguin Special captures an historic moment.

In Things That Can and Cannot Be Said Arundhati Roy and John Cusack issue a powerful rallying cry a call to resistance against America's ongoing malign hegemony.
