âA timely, telling look at rape culture on campus, Sarah Henstraâs The Red Word boldly goes to the places where memoir canât but fiction can.ââPopSugar As her sophomore year begins, Karen enters into the back-to-school revelryâparticularly at a fraternity called GBC. When she wakes up one morning on the lawn of Raghurst, a house of radical feminists, she gets a crash course in the state of feminist activism on campus. GBC is notorious, she learns, nicknamed âGang Bang Centralâ and a prominent contributor to a list of date rapists compiled by female students. Despite continuing to party there and dating one of the brothers, Karen is equally seduced by the intellectual stimulation and indomitable spirit of the Raghurst women, who surprise her by wanting her as a housemate and recruiting her into the upper-level class of a charismatic feminist mythology scholar they all adore. As Karen finds herself caught between two increasingly polarized camps, ringleader housemate Dyann believes she has hit on the perfect way to expose and bring down the fraternity as a symbol of rape cultureâbut the war between the houses will exact a terrible price. Named One of the Best New Books of the Month by Harperâs Bazaar, PopSugar, Bitch, Fast Company, and Read It Forward âThe smartest, most provocative novel Iâve read in a long time. Sarah Henstra dives headlong into some murky, turbulent watersâgender politics, campus sexual assault, complicity, moral responsibilityâand emerges with a book thatâs as shocking as it is essential.â âTom Perrotta, New York Times-bestselling author âWill get you fuming, laughing, cheering, and most of all, thinking.ââCosmopolitan |
