The Activist

I really like the almost truncated nature of the activist. It reads like a news statement, especially the beginning. That style I think asks a lot the reader, it trusts the reader's ability to connect narrative sections with little or no contextual help. Thus the reader must be actively engaged in the text and reading becomes an active engagement, not merely a passive activity. That active engagement requires the reader to develop a political perspective within the piece. Their opinion of the writing and the book in general will change depending on their political bias.
