I wanted to slow clap several times while listening to this audiobook. Not for the performances (though they were good! Even Marc Maron, someone I usually avoid!), but for the mind-blowing narrative Tamblyn cooked up that is such a cutting commentary on rape culture and gendered thinking. The book follows the (male) sexual assault victims of an anonymous (female) rapist known only as Maude. Tamblyn's architecture was far more complex than I expected, and I have to bow down to her brilliance. She writes eloquently and dials into the emotions of her characters so well, while make me think deeply about her message and themes.

Passionate and articulate, angering and funny—Tamblyn made a fictional tale that reflected something very real about today's society and social constructs.
