Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From a rising literary star and the author of how to be a good girl comes a brilliant, biting, and beautifully wrought memoir of trauma and the cost of survivalA VULTURE NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR"Piercing . . . . Trauma Plot flips the confessional memoir on its head."The Cut"An innovative, rigorous, genre-bending, and ultimately life-affirming account of what it takes to survive."VultureIn the thick of lockdown, 2020, poet, critic, and memoirist Jamie Hood published her debut, how to be a good girl, an interrogation of modern femininity and the narratives of love, desire, and violence yoked to it. The Rumpus praised Hoods bold vulnerability, and Vogue named it a Best Book of 2020. In Trauma Plot, Hood draws on disparate literary forms to tell the story that lurked in good girls marginsof three decades marred by sexual violence and the wreckage left behind. With her trademark critical remove, Hood interrogates the archetype of the rape survivor, who must perform penitence long after living through the unthinkable, invoking some of arts most infamous women to have played the role: Ovids Philomela, David Lynchs Laura Palmer, and Artemisia Gentileschi, who captured Judiths wrath. In so doing, she asks: What do we as a culture demand of survivors? And what do survivors, in turn, owe a world that has abandoned them? Trauma Plot is a scalding work of personal and literary criticism. It is a send-up of our culture's pious disdain for trauma porn, a dirge for the broken promises of #MeToo, and a paean to finding life after death.
