What We Talk About When We Talk about Rape by Sohaila Abdulali

4.0

A thoughtful and thought provoking contemplation of rape - why it happens, who are rapists, what can we do about it. The writing is a bit of a jumble, which made it sometimes hard to gather my thoughts and make some logical sense of it all. But then I think that’s only appropriate - how can there be any logical sense to rape? This is an important book that refuses to deny the complexities of this issue in order to make some grand point. Instead, Abdulali writes about it all, the “full catastrophe,” and asks us to carry on the conversation.
