The Reckonings: Essays by Lacy M. Johnson

4.0

Powerful essays on misogyny, racism, climate change, elections, and the role of art in seeking for justice. I appreciate how this book deals with the Big Issues without ever leaving behind small and nuanced personal experiences.

Especially recommended for those who are grappling with the thorny question of justice for rapists and predators. Johnson, herself a survivor of rape and attempted murder, is searching out ways to seek justice without buying into the retributive criminal justice system.
