Fight of the Century

In "Fight of the Century," award-winning authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman present a compelling anthology where many esteemed contemporary writers contribute original essays inspired by landmark ACLU cases. Reflecting on the organization's century-long commitment to civil liberties, the collection explores cases like Brown v. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade, alongside lesser-known yet significant trials that have shaped modern society. Featuring contributions from writers such as Neil Gaiman, Yaa Gyasi, and Salman Rushdie, each piece vividly narrates personal experiences and critical reflections on the ongoing struggle for rights, emphasizing the relevance of these issues today. Chabon and Waldman are donating their advance to the ACLU, with contributors forgoing payment to support the cause.
