Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas by Jill Abramson, Jane Mayer
5.0
I'd been wanting to read this book ever since I first heard about it during the Kavanaugh hearing, and I put it off because I knew it would be heavy & intense.
It's more intense than I imagined. Roughly the first third of the book is a semi-biography of Thomas and Hill, their time working together, and their lives after they went their separate ways. Once Thomas starts heading towards the Supreme Court, the book becomes more horror. I already knew about Hill's allegations, the hearing itself, and the aftermath. The disgusting machinations to get Thomas there were new to me, and it's all slime.
I listened to the audiobook, which was well done.
