A star-studded cast including Sir Patrick Stewart, Samuel L. Jackson, Lucy Liu, Zachary Quinto, Michael C. Hall, Tony Shalhoub, Matt Bomer, Billy Porter, Judith Light and more will lend their voices to the audiobook edition of FIGHT OF THECENTURY, a brand-new anthology curated by award-winning authors Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman in collaboration with the American Civil Liberties Union to mark its 100-year anniversary.
FIGHT OF THECENTURY takes you inside the landmark trials and the stories that have shaped modern life through original essays by 40 of the most influential writers at work today, including Jennifer Egan, Marlon James, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Salman Rushdie, and Jesmyn Ward. Some of the most prominent cases involving the ACLU— Brown v. Board of Education, Roe v. Wade, Miranda v. Arizona — need little introduction. Others you may never even have heard of, yet their outcomes quietly defined the world we live in now. Familiar or little-known, each case springs to vivid life in the hands of the acclaimed writers who dive into the history, share their personal experiences, and debate the questions at the heart of each issue.
The audiobook features several essays read by their bestselling authors, including Geraldine Brooks, Michael Chabon, Neil Gaiman, Morgan Parker, Ann Patchett, Sergio de la Pava, Moriel Rothman-Zecher, Moses Sumney, and Ayelet Waldman as well as a foreword recorded by David Cole, the National Legal Director of the ACLU.
