Product Information

It’s the reality of our culture,” she says. “I saw an article titled something like, ‘Celebrity Tweets React to Anthony Bourdain’s Suicide.’ There’s something about social media that keeps us trapped, and it trains people like myself who are in positions of privilege and power to know that all I have to do is tweet out my thoughts and prayers, and I’ll get this many retweets, and I’ve done my work.” The story is a mosaic of voices, of men who are assaulted by a serial rapist—a female serial rapist. Tamblyn uses this less common story, of men being the victims of assault, to examine how we as a society, through conversations, through the news, through social media, think and talk about sexual assault. She flips the more common script on its head and with it creates a powerful and evocative story. She holds up a mirror to our world and forces the reader to take a long, hard look.

Amber Tamblyn About — Amber Tamblyn

Still, from this forced break, she was able to absorb copious amounts of media that would then inform the chapters of her book. Like a short one that’s written as a transcript of a cable-news provocateur show, modeled on “Nancy Grace,” where the four commentators callously discuss the rape case of the first victim, a man named Donald Ellis. An award winning actor, Ben Foster can be seen in the films Birds of America, 3:10 to Yuma, and X-Men 3: The Last Stand among many others. He shared the SAG Award for Best Ensemble Cast for his work on the acclaimed HBO drama Six Feet Under, and garnered a Daytime Emmy for his lead performance in Showtime's Bang Bang You're Dead. 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. In 2007, she co-founded Write Now Poetry Society, dedicated to creating unique and quality poetry programming. The non-profit has a long history with The Getty Museum, curating poetry events in conjunction with art openings, such as 2011's Dark Blushing, featuring new poems commissioned by poets Patricia Smith and NEA fellow Jeffrey McDaniel, based on works of art by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Blake. [31] Since 2011, Tamblyn has reviewed books of poetry by women for iconic feminist magazine, BUST Magazine. [32] James Woods allegation and Hasidic incident [ edit ] 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]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. An explosive, shapeshifting piece of literary real estate, Amber Tamblyn's arresting debut offers a scathing portrait of American celebrity culture and the way in which it transmutes human tragedy into a vicious circus; victims are forgotten as likes and shares swirl, and 'news' becomes a squalid orgy, a lurid feast. Tamblyn takes every risk in this astonishing and innovative work, and succeeds, gloriously." It’s not something men think about very often. Or ever. What it’s like to walk through a parking garage by yourself. Or to the store across the street at night. Or needing to watch your drink in public spaces.

By introducing Sebastian White - an outspoken, ultra-conservative gay pundit clearly modeled after Milo Yiannopoulos - Tamblyn challenges us to have compassion for all victims, even those who are unlikable and, let's face it, overtly hostile to Tamblyn's intended audience. Meanwhile, Michael Parker serves as a reminder that we must be inclusive in our feminism, and take trans and genderqueer folks as they are. While the media insists in misgendering Michael, make no mistake: he was a man, no matter the gender assigned or name given him at birth. Maude seemed to accept this; do you really want to be less progressive than a serial rapist? This needs way more hype. It was written in 2018 and I just saw it for the first time a few months ago. That's a crime in my opinion. I have shoved this book down so many people's throats and I only finished it last week. It's currently on loan to a coworker.
