Any Man

Product Information

If you do choose to read this book, I cannot recommend the audiobook highly enough. This is arguably the most well produce audiobook I've ever listened to. It's immersive, which you could argue is what makes the reading experience even more visceral; and that is, again, quite disturbing. What I think is absolutely brilliant, is that the book uses male victims in the story to create a powerful point that is two-pronged.

I shouldn't make a scene, I was blowing it out of proportion, this wasn't a big deal, he wasn't hurting me, I'd be able to get off the bus soon, it was my fault, I shouldn't have worn a dress to work that day, what would I even tell a cop?

She is one of the founders of the non-profit organization Time's Up, which was created to combat workplace sexual harassment. [48] She is also a feminist. [49] Warning for anyone unaware - this is extremely triggering content. I had to set the book down at least a dozen times and walk away. It messed me up in more ways than one. But it's also one of the most stunningly written and expertly told books I've ever come across. Unfortunately, this is one of those books that will preach to the choir. The people who REALLY NEED to read this won't be interested in it. But I'm going to do my best to push it on everyone I can henceforth! In her blazingly original and unforgettable debut novel "Any Man", Amber Tamblyn brings to startling life a specter of sexual violence in the shadowy form of Maude, a serial female rapist who preys on men.

Liberals. Sean Penn! Anything with beets in it. But more than any of that, as you know, I loathe feminists. It’s no small miracle that all feminists in America haven’t been stoned to death by now. I’m just telling you the truth. Feminists are pollution, taking a stance – against what exactly, no one in their right mind knows." the audiobook, narrated by a full cast, is superbly done. i had to pause and take a breather because i was absolutely enraged by the section that's a transcript of a talk show discussing the validity of male rape. the portrayal of rape culture is infuriatingly believable. exploitative sensationalist media does so much harm, often under the guise of "news" or raising awareness. Additionally, the way it's written is meant to evoke the feeling, at times, of what it is to be a survivor of sexual assault in all its different forms. Tamblyn does such a good job with portraying various survivors' reactions that at times I had to stop myself from reading on for a bit to recover. Tamblyn has self-published two chapbooks of poetry, Of the Dawn and Plenty of Ships, and has participated in poetry readings at various venues, particularly in California. The Loneliest, a poem book inspired by Thelonious Monk and his music, was published in 2005 and contains haiku poetry written by Tamblyn and coupled with collages by George Herms. [28]
