Threadbare is about witnessing and experiencing sexual violence against women from a young age, and how, despite unravelling, we manage, time and time again, to stitch ourselves back together. This pamphlet is a crucial contribution to the ongoing conversation about sexual violence and the nature of victimhood brought into the limelight by the #MeToo movement. The collection is broken into two parts - each beautifully demarcated with hand-drawn illustrations from the author.

This pamphlet is a crucial contribution to the ongoing conversation about sexual violence and the nature of victimhood brought into the limelight by the #MeToo movement.The collection is broken into two parts - each beautifully demarcated with hand-drawn illustrations from the author. Part I sees the speaker witness sexual violence against women from a young age, and constitutes an extended falling:When I fell, the trees and houses were geometric shapes and I didnt hit the ground, I tore through it. (from 'When I walked out')Part II explores with the utmost nuance and subtlety the relationship between sexual consent and emotional abuse. Yet this collection is ultimately uplifting, a reclamation and catharsis, a triumph of familial love:She says, without turning, Youre the women who survived. Her hair is caught, not by the wind, but by the fireflies. They puppeteer and pull at it, like stars to the stark grey moon. Before we forward march, she stands: I think Ill be leaving soon. Thank the ones who believe your words and love you back to life. Listen to the blackbirds. Build a house for the blackbirds wife. Our tears flow into the lake, growing underwater forests. Tomorrow, itll be sunny, she says. And that, I can promise.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
