Just started reading this incredible book!
Can't tell you how much it means to me for WITHOUT CONSENT to be written up in the New Yorker as part of a larger consideration of consent in general. And I will gladly be known as "taking a true-crime approach to intellectual history"!
How Consent Can—and Cannot—Help Us Have Better Sex
The idea is legally vital, but ultimately unsatisfying. Is there another way forward?

If this awful world has room for a petty gripe: I'm blown away by the streaming success of SHE RIDES SHOTGUN. But! Streaming's "shrink the movie the moment the closing credits start" means that most viewers have no idea it's based on a novel. And I, personally, would like it better if they did know.

This is an outstanding book (I was lucky enough to read an advance copy). I just wish it weren’t so timely, but Sarah’s particular gift seems to be matching stories from the past with Our Current Moment.
Since @bookshop.org is offering free shipping through the end of the day why not pre-order my book and save a few coins?

The fact that he couldn't pronounce acetaminophen isn't what disturbs me. What disturbs me is that he couldn't be bothered to read something even once before proclaiming it to reporters and the world.

Harrowing, engrossing, reported and presented with deep care for the details. The overworked term that’s necessary here is “eye-opening.” Hard to overstate how good @sarahweinman.com’s “Without Consent” is.
