The new book from the Orwell PrizeWinning author of Poverty Safari and The Social Distance Between UsToday, trauma permeates media, from music and television to films and books my own included. While the increasing openness is welcome, Ive observed that this rise has been accompanied by a parallel explosion of disinformation and sometimes harmful guidance about how to deal with personal trauma.In Trauma Industrial Complex, I ask the question How did we get here? And are the stories were telling ourselves liberating us or keeping us trapped? In this revealing and deeply personal book, Ill pull back the curtain, sharing the hardwon wisdom Ive gained from the events brought on by telling my own story.Praise for Darren McGarveyAn Orwell for todays poor The TimesThe standout, authentic voice of a generation HeraldMcGarvey is a rarity a workingclass writer who has fought to make the middleclass world hear what he has to say Nick Cohen, Guardian
