Un retrato perspicaz y atrevido de la masculinidad contemporánea. Cualquier feminista que haya dialogado ante el público sobre las frustraciones y los lastres innatos a la aventura de ser mujer habrá tenido que enfrentarse alguna vez a la pregunta: «¿Y los hombres qué?». Y si la feminista en cuestión lleva años intentando convencer a ese público de que las preocupaciones de ambos sexos son cosas muy distintas, su respuesta automática, muy probablemente, habrá sido algo como: «¿Por qué me sacan este tema? ¡Yo soy feminista! ¡Mi especialidad son las mujeres! No me ocupo de… los otros».

Since the dawn of time, punctuality has been a scam. You rush to get ready for an event, only to discover that your pants have a hole in them, there’s a chance of rain, and the train is skipping your stop, so now the fastest method is a $100 rideshare to go 2 miles. And for what? To arrive “on time” rather than “whenever I want”? Enough is enough. In Colored People Time, Manny Fidel bravely confronts this injustice head-on, arguing that until America reaches genuine racial equity, people of color are allowed—nay, encouraged—to be late to anything they want.

"Denn das Christentum ist eine Idee und als solche unzerstörbar und unsterblich wie jede Idee. Was ist aber diese Idee? Eben weil man diese Idee noch nicht klar begriffen und Äußerlichkeiten für die Hauptsache gehalten hat, gibt es noch keine Geschichte des Christentums." (Heinrich Heine: Geschichte der Religion und Philosophie in Deutschland) Die hellsichtige Prosa, die unkonventionellen Einsichten des Heinrich Heine in die Grundzüge, die Mentalitäten der abendländisch-christlichen Kultur sind bis heute gültig - und wenig gelesen.
