Doppelganger : a trip into the mirror world

Progressive activist Naomi Klein examines her relationship with her mass media double, Naomi Wolf, in this lively memoir. While Klein and Wolf were once ideological allies on the left--Jewish feminists who were occasionally mistaken for each other--Wolf has become a COVID denialist and conservative gadfly in recent years. Klein uses the discovery that she has a doppelganger to delve into the use of doppelgangers in Western culture and immerse herself in the rhetoric of the alt-right, which tries to co-opt leftist tropes for political advantage.
