Mesmerizingly articulate ... A collection of essays that combine the analytical, lyrical, and experimental to explore the continued resonances and limitations of the discussion around sexual predation. Nothing is simple in this book, and there are no heroes.
Provocative and intelligent, this book, which concludes with impressionistic, mordantly ironic prose-poems that capture the experiences of individual women who have lived through abortion and sexual assault, gives voice to the many ways females (and other marginalized people) are stripped of their power by (White) male misogyny.
The heavy subject matter makes for tough but rewarding reading, and the prose is at turns elliptical, poetic, and powerful. It’s a dauntless and harrowing indictment of patriarchal violence.
