I'm Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya
challenging
emotional
reflective
fast-paced
4.5
This was such an excellent essay. Vivek Shraya goes from ‘you’ to ‘me’ in her perspectives (so for the first part, you read into her perspectives of different men she’s afraid of, then for the second part you read into how she’s been trying to minimise herself for the comfort of other men etc.) 😳
I read this incredibly quickly, because there was no way to stop 👏🏼 It was phenomenal! I highlighted a few quotes that definitely need going back to again and again.
The endingI’m also afraid of women got me 👀
