​

"I might as well have called it Against Kittens," kvetched Bloom as the Leftwaffe attacked with literary bomb runs that brimmed with such vitriol it could have been bottled and sold to Somali refugees for thirty dollars a pop. "Books like Against Empathy make me viscerally angry," gnashed Nathan Robinson of Current Affairs, so I bought two copies, for reasons I explain in the podcast below.
