I really appreciate the nuance (a theme for this book) of depicting a strike, how it plays out in the court of public opinion, the grit, the sacrifice, the impact to the innocent. Having been close to a strike more than once, the calculus involved of your own livelihood against an injustice is not easy and my experience was small potatoes compared to this scope.

Also a huge fan of the jagged edges of imperfections of character and morality, it’s all gotten so messy. I was afraid it’d be a violent martyr scenario and it seems like even if that’s how it plays out, it isn’t likely to be glorification of a madman that so often devolves to one dimensional propaganda. Just a bit more to go and we’ll know if I’m wrong or not lol.
