Reading this made me want to vomit, which is why I would recommend it to everyone. You think you know the story of Harvey Weinstein and the #MeToo movement, but it is so, so much worse than you thought.

Stāsts par to, kā tapa The New Yorker stāsts par Hārviju Vainstīnu (kas sākumā ilgus mēnešus vispār bija NBC pasākums) (Stāsts par stāstu principā).
Autors (kurš, starp citu ir Mias Ferovas un Vudija Alena dēls) atstāsta par to, kā vispār sākās izmeklēšana par seksuāla rakstura noziegumiem Holivudā, un kāds murgs bija šo visu dabūt līdz publicēšanai. Čalis, starp citu, par to rakstu arī dabūja Pulicera prēmiju.
Diezgan saspringta žurnālistikas drāma un vietām īsts krimiķis (ar legit izsekošanām, Izraēlas spiegiem un telefonu hakošanu).
Bet tieši Vainstīna gadījums te ir tikai puse no visa. Lielākā (un patiesībā tā svarīgākā) daļa ir tieši tas, kā lielās mediju organizācijas un visi iespējamie pasaules spēki cītīgi sadodas rokās, lai pasargātu reāli slimus cilvēkus. Un par to, kā tas turpinās. Vainstīna gadījums te galīgi nav vienīgais.
Un, jā, te ir ļoti daudz detalizētu atstāstu par to, kā tieši tika izvaroti vairāki Vainstīna (un ne tikai) upuri.
Quality stuff.

Es šodien izmantoju baigi daudz iekavas.

Edit: Ai, es šodien nemāku rakstīt, man vienubrīd viena teikuma ietvaros vārds "stāsts" parādījās četras reizes. Cik var labot? Karoč doma skaidra. Grāmata nice. Lasiet.

Yeesh, this is a heavy book. It's hard to wrap my head around how pervasive sexual assault was in Hollywood as well as at NBC and other media outlets. These women were so terrified for their safety and their careers that they felt they had no other choice but to sweep the harassment and abuse under the rug. It's almost unbelievable the lengths to which Weinstein and the other men went in order to conceal their crimes and discredit the author and the victims.

So many emotions all at once. I'm angry, disgusted, shocked, jaded, and stunned by so many people ... men and women ... who continually and methodically covered up the actions of those deemed more powerful. But the fact that people risked everything for this story to be told means there are still good people out there. Seriously though ... I need a happy book now.

Such an important book, I think everyone should read it

4.5 stars for me. This was so interesting from start to finish. I knew there was corruption, but not to this extent. Highly recommend.

Important subject matter, but the writing is melodramatic and drawn out. Skip the book and watch Farrow's interview on Rachel Maddow instead.
