" Michelle Bowdler's remarkable, beautifully constructed book is essential reading. It forces us to confront both the reality of sexual assault and the repeated brutalities of a system that treats survivors of rape with disdain and neglect. And yet Bowdler is no victim. This book is not only a memoir but a call to action, one that will inspire and galvanize every reader." --Ayelet Waldman, executive producer and co-creator of Netflix's Unbelievable and author of A Very Good Day " Raw, visceral, urgently researched, and impeccably argued , Michelle Bowdler's Is Rape a Crime? is a book for our times. From the horrific crime she suffered--one familiar to too many women--she extracts a public call to action, forcing us not to turn away from a message at once vitally personal and publicly searing. I felt honored to read this book, and changed by it. Bowdler's voice is one we need. " --Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, Lambda-award winning author of The Fact of a Body " Tracking police inaction on her own case, Michelle Bowdler wields memory as a weapon then a banner to urge an end to this most wretched and devastating of crimes against women. Take this book in hand and join her. Rape is a crime! Here is our manifesto! " --Honor Moore, the author of the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist The Bishop's Daughter, "Is Rape a Crime? filled me with equal parts rage and awe: rage at the grave failures and chronic indifference of our 'justice' system, rage that the question can be asked at all. I am in awe of Michelle Bowdler's resilience, her activism, and the devastating matter-of-factness with which she tells her story and makes her case. This book is a must-read for every human." --Christopher Castellani, bestselling author of Leading Men "As a fellow survivor, I am in awe of what Michelle Bowdler has achieved with this masterful, suspenseful, and impeccably researched book . Bowdler courageously searches for an answer to her central question even when it seems the answer is devastating: It's not that we don't believe victims; it's that we don't particularly care. But this is not a book about despair. Arming the reader with knowledge and the power of storytelling, Is Rape a Crime? is essential reading for a better, more just society." --Grace Talusan, author of The Body Papers , winner of the Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing in Nonfiction " Michelle Bowdler's remarkable, beautifully constructed book is essential reading.

" --Honor Moore, the author of the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist The Bishop's Daughter, "I promise you, this is the most important book you will read this year. With searing clarity and unflinching honesty, Bowdler''s account of her rape and law enforcement''s repeated failure to investigate it, will enrage you, shock you, inspire you, and ultimately change you forever. Bowdler is fighting for all of us, recovering all our stories--this is indeed our manifesto." --Alison Smith, author of Name All the Animals " A devastating, necessary, and compelling account of one woman''s experience combined with astute analysis of our country''s troubling relationship to sexual violence. Bowdler''s book should be required reading for all who live here." --Melissa Febos, author of Whip Smart and Abandon Me "Beyond Michelle Bowdler''s lucid prose, what I find most remarkable here is this: even when the stakes are personally overwhelming and she feels as if she cannot go one step further, Bowdler constantly thinks of others--her roommates, her mother, her wife, her children, and, as she discovers how many rapes go uninvestigated, her fellow survivors. Smack in the middle of a story filled with headlines, the uncanny humanity with which Bowdler tells her story is moving, urgent, and necessary. In this she shows us a way toward repair." --Kenny Fries, award-winning author of In the Province of the Gods "Is Rape a Crime? filled me with equal parts rage and awe: rage at the grave failures and chronic indifference of our ''justice'' system, rage that the question can be asked at all. I am in awe of Michelle Bowdler''s resilience, her activism, and the devastating matter-of-factness with which she tells her story and makes her case. This book is a must-read for every human." --Christopher Castellani, bestselling author of Leading Men "Michelle Bowdler''s memoir is a powerful testimony and eloquent plea to rethink how rape is handled in America and around the world. Bowdler''s writing is beautiful, compelling, and urgent. This book is a knockout. " --Alysia Abbott, author of Fairyland "As a fellow survivor, I am in awe of what Michelle Bowdler has achieved with this masterful, suspenseful, and impeccably researched book .

Synopsis
Alice Sebold meets Roxane Gay in Michelle Bowdler's literary debut, telling her story of rape and recovery while interrogating why one of society's most serious crimes goes largely uninvestigated The crime of rape sizzles like a lightning strike. It pounces, flattens, destroys. A person stands whole, and in a moment of unexpected violence, that life, that body is gone. Award-winning writer and public health executive Michelle Bowdler's memoir indicts how sexual violence has been addressed for decades in our society, asking whether rape is a crime given that it is the least reported major felony, least successfully prosecuted, and fewer than 3% of rapists ever spend a day in jail. Cases are closed before they are investigated and DNA evidence sits for years untested and disregarded Rape in this country is not treated as a crime of brutal violence but as a parlor game of he said / she said. It might be laughable if it didn't work so much of the time. Given all this, it seems fair to ask whether rape is actually a crime. In 1984, the Boston Sexual Assault Unit was formed as a result of a series of break-ins and rapes that terrorized the city, of which Michelle's own horrific rape was the last. Twenty years later, after a career of working with victims like herself, Michelle decides to find out what happened to her case and why she never heard from the police again after one brief interview. An expert blend of memoir and cultural investigation, Michelle's story is a rallying cry to reclaim our power and right our world., Longlisted for the 2020 National Book Award for Nonfiction TIME 's 100 Must-Read Books of 2020 Publishers Weekly , Best Books of 2020 New York Times New & Noteworthy Audiobooks Lit Hubs Most Anticipated Books of 2020 Starred Review Publishers Weekly Starred Review Shelf Awareness " Is Rape a Crime? is beautifully written and compellingly told.
