In his first book, In Defense of Hatred, Robertson redefined how we think about hate. Now, in Letter to Anwei, he challenges the way we understand the human animal. Tackling the relationships between identity, death, experience, and justice, Robertson explores how we can live authentic lives in a society that morally separates us from the history and inner nature that truly make us who we are.Why do so many wealthy celebrities kill themselves, despite seeming to have everything? Why do some populations regularly live dramatically longer than their neighbors? Who is responsible for our success and failure in life? And what is it exactly that makes us ourselves? Letter to Anwei attempts to provide an answer to these questions.In Defense of Hatred explored the literature and history of old-world Europe, from Vlad “Dracula” III of Walachia to the Roman heroes of Shakespeare’s darkest plays. In the guise of a letter to future descendants, Letter to Anwei takes the reader on a broader tour of the world, from Okinawa and ancient China to the gated villas of Hollywood’s most expensive suburbs, in search of a replacement for the individualism that has separated us from our families and from a sense of purpose. His conclusion redefines who we are as humans, and advances an older, more classical view of social obligations and ethics that challenges the liberal theories of ethics that have dominated the last two centuries.
