After college she spent two decades in an anarchist commune, and at age 66 her beliefs havent wavered. She protests with young people to demand justice and human rights. She marches for gun control, for Black Lives Matter, for action against climate change. A portrait of her special anarchist hero, Errico Malatesta, hangs on her refrigerator with an inspirational quote of his: "Impossibility never prevented anything from happening."</p><p>Yet Susie now teaches at an expensive private school, and her life is comfortably middle-class. Her son Eric, a budding mathematician, mocks her as a "bourgeois anarchist."</p><p>As the story opens, violence breaks out at a peaceful rally, and Susie is injured. A young woman dressed in Antifa gear rescues her, and Susie is drawn into a mysterious intrigue involving angry activists and devious capitalists, gentrification, arson, even mobsters. Cops pound on her door to demand information. Though Susie tries to hew to her principles, the true nature of justice becomes muddled, and her anarchist heroesincluding the grizzled Malatesta on her refrigeratorprovide no clear answer. Peoples lives are at risk, and she doesnt know what to do. The dilemma escalates into an existential crisis.</p><p>In the midst of this turmoil, Susie stumbles into unexpected romance. But is the new man any more reliable than the ones whove failed her in the past? Meanwhile her son, the apolitical math geek, adds an offbeat and comic perspective that may offer a clue to the personal and political intrigues.</p><p><strong>PRAISE FOR THE BOURGEOIS ANARCHIST</strong></p><p>"Susie is an irresistible force. Readers, especially those of a certain age, aficionados of Anne Tylers quirky heroines, will enjoy Susie. She carries the baggage of years of living and experience with almost reckless, youthful abandon. And begins to reckon with some skeletons in her own closet and to figure out whats next." Ellen Prentiss Campbell, in <em>Tiferet</em></p><p>"<em>The Bourgeois Anarchist</em> is an engrossing tale of an aging pacifists struggle to live her ideals as shes enveloped by the dangers of anarchic activism and the violence of big city capitalism." Alan Drew, author of <em>The Recruit</em> and <em>Shadow Man</em></p><p>"Its antifa vs artisanal coffee in this absorbing and timely Philadelphia story about the difficulties of living out ones radical principles in the most orderly way possible." Elisabeth Cohen, author of <em>The Glitch</em></p><p>"If youve ever wondered what you would do in a time of crisis ... youre doing it right now. Susie Alioto is doing her thing too ... marching, banner-waving and trying to reconcile her anarchic principles with her non-violent beliefs, in an America where non-violence seems to be increasingly impossible. As tensions rise in her rapidly gentrifying district of Philadelphia, a motley crew of cops, mobsters, pacifists and pseudo-anarchists invade Susies quiet existence. No wonder shes feeling dizzy. A thoroughly enjoyable, and surprisingly gentle, story of love, duty and politics." Orla McAlinden, author of <em>The Accidental Wife</em> and <em>The Flight of the Wren</em></p><p>"When it comes to political convictions, our younger selves are bound to judge our older selves, and harshly. The charm of this novella is the way it presents this subject with such a light touch, such generosity, and such affection for its characters." Simone Zelitch, author of <em>Judenstaat</em>, <em>Waveland</em>, and <em>Louisa</em></p>...9798224492145_P. M.
