Pelicot writes not as victim or survivor but as the site of the crime. It's unlike anything I've read. But the book's formal challenges + peculiarities have scarcely been engaged--
Wrote about Gisèle Pelicot's extraordinary memoir and how poorly + partially survivor narratives are read. Gift link: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/magaz…

Sometimes I feel like such a dour feminist when I’m reading - I get frustrated with myself that I can’t put it aside to enjoy a work of art on its own. Reading Stoner I felt a little haunted by the wife and daughters interior perspective, completely hidden from view
memorable portrayal of a time not so long ago in the US when Philip Wylie's "Generation of Vipers" was a part of the Zeitgeist. men didn't obliquely hint that women were the cause of their own failures & women were just plain evil; in those days they came out clearly & unambiguously to state it, restate it, & restate it. this perspective, embedded in "Stoner" like a fossil in a rock.
Finally, some good old fashioned feminist writing!!!!

Bri actually interviews a lot of smart people who make a compelling case that “having children” and “climate change” don’t really have much to do with one another. But mostly we hear from a suicidal South African professor
