In an age when telling the wrong joke or using the wrong pronoun can
cost you your career, Quillette magazine - founded in 2015 by
Australian-based journalist Claire Lehmann - has provided a forum for
thinkers of all political stripes to push back against the forces of
intellectual conformity. Panics and Persecutions brings together a
collection of especially compelling Quillette narratives, spanning
subcultures from computer science to romance literature. These stories
lay bare the human toll of modern ideological inquisitions, often in
deeply personal terms-and demonstrate the urgency of Quillette's
editorial mission to create a space where free thought lives. Edited by
Claire Lehmann, Colin Wright, Jamie Palmer, Jonathan Kay and Toby Young.
