Product Information

And something about these crimes that have been present in our world since we climbed up out of the primordial ooze being put into this context, putting them on men, made them real for me. They were unique instances of horror and violation that felt more believable because they happened to men. And yes, in a way that's horrible. My own experience became more valid to me because I looked at it happening to people who aren't usually the victims, who to my mind shouldn't be the victims, and felt all the horror and anger and lust for justice.

Amber Tamblyn

Just like for women, our “Maude” could be any man who walks into a bar. Any man we pass on the street. Any man we ride in an elevator with. It's not all men, but it's enough of them. It's not all men, but we have no way of knowing which men it is. Hetero women are the only species who need to mate with our only known predator.

If you do choose to read this book, I cannot recommend the audiobook highly enough. This is arguably the most well produce audiobook I've ever listened to. It's immersive, which you could argue is what makes the reading experience even more visceral; and that is, again, quite disturbing. The section of tweets is particularly devastating, as Tamblyn uses actual cultural figures to create a realistic sequence in which the content goes from sympathy for the men (few likes) to needing to be seen showing sympathy to just who can use their pain to get more attention and sell something. It’s a blistering criticism, as is the use of the men, especially Donald, the first victim, who agrees to be interviewed in hopes of helping other men, and the hideous way his vulnerability is trampled in the public arena.

REVIEW] Any Man by Amber Tamblyn - [PANK] [REVIEW] Any Man by Amber Tamblyn - [PANK]

There is a poignant moment in one of the scenes where men are in a bar, sitting around joking about the victims, and then a woman walks in and the men push their alcoholic drinks away and instead sip at their water. Knowing. Scared of this random woman. Hawkes, Rebecca (February 24, 2017). "Amber Tamblyn announces utterly ridiculous baby name - and people aren't quite sure what to think". The Daily Telegraph. UK. Archived from the original on February 25, 2017 . Retrieved February 25, 2017. She describes the molded-plastic gloves her physical therapist made for both arms, ones which would immobilize her thumbs, so she could no longer type. At six months’ pregnant, she lay down, still, and wrote the rest of the book in her head. “It was a form of torture,” she says, shaking her head. Women’s creative work today is inherently political. We’re pushing boundaries of how to teach,” she says. “How to get people to see what they’ve chosen not to.” Honestly, though I have no real issue with that kind of fiction. I do think books and shows, done right, are a source of light to shine onto the issues women face. People have an easier time learning empathy from fiction. I think it's important to show women that we are not alone in our experiences, to show others what those experiences can be and load up our arsenals with the options we see that might save our lives, should we ever need to.Tamblyn and actor-comedian David Cross became engaged in August 2011, [40] and married on October 6, 2012.

I can't talk about the feminist mystique or empowerment or use any of the buzz words. I can't even really talk about what I think Amber Tamblyn was trying to accomplish with this book. I shouldn't make a scene, I was blowing it out of proportion, this wasn't a big deal, he wasn't hurting me, I'd be able to get off the bus soon, it was my fault, I shouldn't have worn a dress to work that day, what would I even tell a cop? This is not a narrative novel in the typical sense. There are no real scenes, no setting, no description. It is abstract in its prose, but it's in this abstract style that you are hit with so much raw, unflinching emotion that it becomes impossible to look away. Though it may become so overwhelming for some, you need to take an emotional reading break.

As bold as it is timely, Any Man paints a searing portrait of survival and is a tribute to those who have lived through the nightmare of sexual assault. Critical Praise Opinion Opinion: H.G. Wells’ alien-invasion novel is night-before-Halloween scary. But it’s a lot more too She also uses artistic choices to blend the horrors of everyday life with the horrors of the genre to create a sort of otherworldly, monstrous look at perpetrators of sexual violence. The imagery at times is disturbing and may make your skin crawl— that is her intention.Lyons, Jarrett (September 13, 2017).
