A powerful anthology of personal essays and reportage that exposes how rape culture permeates everyday life, recounts survivors’ experiences of assault and the often-inadequate personal, legal, and cultural responses, and interrogates the intersections of gender, race, power, and consent while calling for accountability, empathy, and systemic change.

A sharp critique of contemporary economic life arguing that powerful institutions—corporations, financial interests, and a compliant expert class—systematically mislead the public with comforting myths and misleading statistics to protect their privilege; the book explains how advertising, propaganda, and expert opinion manufacture consent for harmful policies, deepen inequality, and weaken democratic accountability, while urging greater public scrutiny and institutional reform to correct the distortions that pass for sound economic management.

A lyrical, elegiac meditation on a city of canals that uses precise, observant detail—light on stone, the sounds of water, gondolas, churches and cemeteries—to explore memory, time, exile and mortality; part travelogue, part essay, it layers personal recollection and literary and historical reflection into compact, poetic prose that treats the landscape as both living archive and mirror for the writer’s own inner life.
