I've just finished reading Emergency Sex (and other Desperate Measures), which manages to be full of fantastic first person narrative, young, fresh, terrifying and accurate. In stark contrast to the ultimately thin "My Name is Rachel Corrie" (its hubub is still in the air), Emergency Sex allows for the narcissism and hubris that is almost necessary for this type of political activism and then combines it with the realities on the ground.
I hear it's been optioned for a film. Good. I recommend it highly.
