Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From the First World War to the 1970s and beyond, Self's rich Modernist triptych carries his prowess in fiction to a new level.
The "sleeping sickness" of the 1920s, the fashions and fantasies of psychiatry as negotiated by Self's serial shrink Dr Zach Busner, and the headlong, inhuman momentum of a mechanised century: all propel a story of selfhood - and society - in crisis that finds its analogue in a fractured, triple-level narrative.
It can be demanding, yes - but lyrical, funny and bitterly beautiful as well.
