Reviews"Know My Name is a devastating, immersive memoir...Miller is an extraordinary writer: plain, precise and moving." NPR " Know My Name is a gut-punch, and in the end, somehow, also blessedly hopeful...She implores us, too, to challenge and question the systems that aren't working. As we examine how to prevent and prosecute sexual assault cases, this last lesson may be the most important of all." Washington Post "She writes exquisitely of her pain, makes us feel every fragment of it, but also expounds on the kindness that nourished her spirit...Miller matters. Readers will see every victim matters." USA Today "In a perfect world, Know My Name would be required reading for every police officer, detective, prosecutor, provost and judge who deals with victims of sexual assault." LA Times "To tell her story at all is enough...the fact that Miller tells it beautifully, caring enough for her reader to spin golden sentences from her pain, is a gift on top of a gift." Vogue "In a world that asks too many survivors to keep their experiences to themselves and shrink their suffering to preserve someone else's potential, Know My Name stands unapologetically large, asking others to reckon with its author's dazzling, undiminishable presence. To read it, in spite of everything, inspires hope." -- The Guardian "Miller provides one of the most moving and humanizing depictions of sexual assault I have ever read ... Know My Name features the kind of intimate, coming-of-age storytelling that you don't find in a typical story about a crime and its aftermath. She lets us see her in quiet moments and jubilant ones, in moments of doubt and moments of strength...In giving us the gift of knowing her, Miller has written a singular testament to the human cost of sexual violence, and a powerful reminder of why we fight." The Cut "In its rare honesty and in its small details, Know My Name is both an open wound and a salve, a quiet cry and the loudest scream... Know My Name is more than an indictment, though it is a successful and moving one. It is also an outstretched hand, inviting you to fight alongside her." Elle "Miller's memoir is beautifully written, underscored by simmering indignation." Jezebel " Compelling and essential...Miller reminds us that our stories are worth telling, that the names and the lives attached to those names matter." SF Chronicle "Miller's new memoir echoes her powerful victim-impact statement... It's a beautiful revealing self-portrait. It's funny and it's heartbreaking, and it's an inspiration. There's just no other way to say it: the writing is exquisite." Th e Daily Beast "Miller makes a powerful case for overhauling a system that retraumatizes victims of sexual violence even in successful cases, perpetuating the feedback loop that discourages victims from coming forward to seek justice." Mother Jones

SynopsisAn Instant New York Times Bestseller Chosen as a BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post , TIME, Elle , Glamour , and Paste Magazine "Miller is an extraordinary writer: plain, precise and moving." -- NPR " Know My Name is a gut-punch, and in the end, somehow, also blessedly hopeful." -- Washington Post " Know My Name marks the debut of a gifted young writer. Miller's words are purpose. They are maps. And she is a treasure who has prevailed." -- The New York Times She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter. Brock Turner had been sentenced to just six months in county jail after he was found sexually assaulting her on Stanford's campus. Her victim impact statement was posted on BuzzFeed, where it instantly went viral--viewed by eleven million people within four days, it was translated globally and read on the floor of Congress; it inspired changes in California law and the recall of the judge in the case. Thousands wrote to say that she had given them the courage to share their own experiences of assault for the first time. Now she reclaims her identity to tell her story of trauma, transcendence, and the power of words. It was the perfect case, in many ways--there were eyewitnesses, Turner ran away, physical evidence was immediately secured. But her struggles with isolation and shame during the aftermath and the trial reveal the oppression victims face in even the best-case scenarios. Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life. Know My Name will forever transform the way we think about sexual assault, challenging our beliefs about what is acceptable and speaking truth to the tumultuous reality of healing. It also introduces readers to an extraordinary writer, one whose words have already changed our world. Entwining pain, resilience, and humor, this memoir will stand as a modern classic., Universally acclaimed, rapturously reviewed, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for autobiography, and an instant New York Times bestseller, Chanel Miller's breathtaking memoir "gives readers the privilege of knowing her not just as Emily Doe, but as Chanel Miller the writer, the artist, the survivor, the fighter." ( The Wrap ). "I opened Know My Name with the intention to bear witness to the story of a survivor. Instead, I found myself falling into the hands of one of the great writers and thinkers of our time. Chanel Miller is a philosopher, a cultural critic, a deep observer, a writer's writer, a true artist. I could not put this phenomenal book down." --Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior and Untamed " Know My Name is a gut-punch, and in the end, somehow, also blessedly hopeful." -- Washington Post She was known to the world as Emily Doe when she stunned millions with a letter.

Incredible story of Courage and Recovery
This book is very well written! Explaining how a victim of rape feels and then recovering from that rape is terrifying. Our justice system has to do a better job of helping victims recover and punishing the perpetrators.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
