maiakobabe 's review for:
I'm Afraid of Men
by Vivek Shraya
I listened to this as an audiobook, and greatly appreciated that it was read by the author. Shraya weaves together stories of the kind of mundane, everyday violence committed by men that is so common as to be normalized. Shraya's experience of this violence is layered by being a person of color, queer, and trans. She unpacks different kinds of dangers when she was presenting as a gay man versus as a gender nonconforming woman. The text is quite short- only an hour and a half of audio- and flows like one cohesive essay, or even a long prose poem.
