Why people recommend it

The Bezzle by Cory Doctorow is a fiction novel that deals with serious, non-fictional issues regarding how finance ghouls and the private prison system have negatively impacted the lives of incarcerated people. The book was discussed on Behind the Bastards by Robert Evans during an episode on March 30, 2024. Evans welcomed Doctorow as an activist writer and author, highlighting how the story’s plot centers around the private prison system and financial corruption. Evans noted that preparing to read this section of the novel taught him quite a bit about private prisons and brought home the emotional horror of having a loved one trapped in such a situation. While concluding the interview, Evans strongly encouraged listeners to check out the wonderful book, noting that it was currently available in stores wherever fine books are sold, and he even asked the author for his preferred purchasing URL. Furthermore, Evans urged his audience to explore Doctorow's other wonderful works, such as Walk Away, while continuing to praise The Bezzle as an essential and impactful read for anyone interested in these critical social issues.
