‘The rape novel post-1970s educates & urges empathy by centering the survivor’s perspective’ Novels like THE KID by Push & A HISTORY OF LONELINESS by John Boyne challenge our attitudes to victims, abusers & enablers + by Judith Herman👇Great talk by @robinfield #VAWGARTSCONF https://t.co/48IWmejrmc

#ToParadise sounds absolutely enthralling (I get #CloudAtlas vibes when reading the description, which I adored). Also: #HanyaYanagihara has a full-time demanding job, writes 700+ page novels AND gets 8-9 hrs of sleep a night... THAT is #authorgoals 😮🙌 https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/jan/09/hanya-yanagihara-to-paradise-interview-a-little-life

The #trainstrikes sadly kept me away from the launch party for this gorgeous book, but huge congrats to @ay_chao on #pubday for #ShanghaiImmortal📚 A published debut is the result of years & years of work in a writer's life - even better when the cover is this beautiful! https://t.co/JIQhP6lOR7

Here’s me & @DameDeniseMina in the Green Room of @edbookfest ✍️ Her crime novels are masterful in portraying gender & crime (#TheLongDrop was brilliant) 👍 I’m looking forward to reading #TheLessDead & she’ll be getting a copy of #Complicit ! #crimefiction https://t.co/a02O330Mdl

And lovely to meet @vanjchan (whose novel #TheStormWeMade you’ll be hearing plenty about 🙌) & @TheRealEllaKing (whose acclaimed suspense debut #BadFruit came out last year)! It’s great to see the breadth of genres & forms that #ESEA writers are being published in now 👍 @eseapn https://t.co/r4xBrFb5uU

And special thanks to fellow #ESEA writer @evawongnava for selecting #Complicit for the book club. I’m looking forward to reading her YA novel #TheHouseofLittleSisters exploring misogyny & the trafficking of girls in colonial Asia. Powerful stories that need telling! #endVAWG https://t.co/5b468b1rRR

Next Prof Moyra Haslett discusses the many women novelists in the 17-18c writing about rape, grooming & seduction in ‘amatory fiction.’ For example FANTOMINA by Haywood. Shown here with the passage from PAMELA, where the female protagonist speaks around her rape. #VAWGARTSCONF https://t.co/n1GhXn9VLu
