‘We had never read anything quite like it. It is, in many ways, a dark book but it is a joy to read’

We're delighted to announce Flesh by David Szalay as the winner of the #BookerPrize2025.

Sarah’s WITHOUT CONSENT releases tomorrow. It’s about a man who did the worst things a human being can do, and a woman who tried to do her best. It’s about people who were largely not ready to be on stage in front of the world, or to make history, or create laws, but they did those things anyway.

Got such a wonderful review of WITHOUT CONSENT in Washington Lawyer, the DC Bar's bimonthly magazine: "an excellent book that should be required reading for all law students. For the rest of us, it provides fascinating insight into forgotten legal history." washingtonlawyer.dcbar.org/novemberdece...

Damn right
I am not going to let Schumer and 8 center-right Democrats bring me down. We won on Tuesday. We're gonna keep winning. Just keep telling the stories of what the Trump administration is doing and how it's making lives so much harder, about the corruption, the incompetence, the violence.

Very excited for this book release!
Very pleased that @rollingstone.com is running an excerpt of WITHOUT CONSENT today, focusing on the making and impact of a 1980 television movie on the Rideout case featuring a young Linda Hamilton and Mickey Rourke.

Don’t have the energy to be mad about the Senate because my book’s out tomorrow so I’ll concentrate on being mad about the patriarchy

What Sarah said!
Don’t buy his book buy mine (or Jen Percy’s or Olivia Laing’s, both also excellent!)
John Fetterman’s memoir comes out on Tuesday, so if the phone calls don’t work you can always tell him how you feel while he’s on book tour.

Re-upping for the weekend (and with my book out in two days)
For the @theglobeandmail.com, I wrote about the persistent myths and misconceptions surrounding spousal rape, and a novel legal theory that might reframe the way lawyers and judges (and society) counters them.
Opinion: Spousal rape remains all too misunderstood
More than 40 years after Canada made sexually assaulting one’s spouse a crime, myths remain pervasive within the legal system

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.
