Anxiety has been described as the big pubic secret of our time – the inevitable consequence of contemporary capitalism. Jane Bennett offers sympathy or empathy as the antidote to this anxiety, something we all experience in different ways but keep secret because we think it is our private problem. A Love Letter to Istanbul offers an experiential antidote for this time and this place.
