Why people recommend it
The Unspeakable by Meghan Daum is a collection of personal essays exploring culture, modern morality, and the uncomfortable truths of daily life. On an episode of The Book Review titled Inside The New York Times Book Review: Charles D Ambrosio's Loitering, guest Phillip Lopate listed the work among several striking essay collections published over a recent eighteen-month period. Later, on the episode Inside The New York Times Book Review: A Rare View of North Korea, host Pamela Paul and editor Gilbert Cruz spoke directly with the author about her book, titled fully The Unspeakable and Other Subjects of Discussion. Cruz noted that Daum takes on difficult topics in her new collection, while Paul introduced the writer live from Los Angeles to discuss the themes underpinning her provocative essays. Wrapping up the interview segment, Paul reiterated the title and invited listeners to engage with the sharp observations and candid reflections that characterize Daum's literary style, marking the book as a notable contribution to contemporary nonfiction and personal essay writing.
