Recenzii
Bracing . V's explosive truth-telling is as provocative as it is intense. The result is a raw and relevant oeuvre.
Riveting . V digs deep to find the words to constructively address sexual atrocities and everyday sexism and their insidious consequences . This far-reaching, deeply affecting collection will garner avid attention and ignite passionate discussion.
An electric call to heal our broken world.
Reckoning is a journey from agonizingly personal to utterly cosmic. No reader will be left unshaken and uninspired.
For decades, Eve Ensler/V has dared to go where others avert their eyes and their better instincts. That fact, so recognizable in these pages, explains her impact on our era. Happily for the reader, Reckoning is part memoir, part manifesto, moving always toward this essential statement: 'Without justice there is no freedom, there is no integrity, there is no full life.'
Every word, every phrase, every anecdote in this beautiful compilation of V's life's work illuminates. Reckoning sheds the searing light of truth on the on the indignities, falsities, injustices, and cruelties of our world and yet is also a note of love to suffering humanity, revealing and celebrating the fathomless courage and infinite compassion our kind is capable of. A book of true inspiration from beginning to end, emanating from a great spirit and a talent of extraordinary vision.
This is a sublime, grand, ferocious, brilliantly written book by one of our most passionate, and illumined, sacred activists. Someone who has dedicated her life to transforming abuse and horror into a clarion call for the renewal of the world. Everyone who is concerned about the future should read this book to be filled with joy, meaning, purpose, and a truth of being that cannot be shaken.
This is an unparalleled exegesis of how we build the political from the personal and how we excavate the personal with the political. If you are trying to find a way to face your deepest hurt in order to be a part of the camaraderie we need to save the planet, open yourself to this rendering.
A remarkable book.
Profound, imaginative and devastating . . . Horrifying and mesmerizing in equal measure, both in its depth of inquiry and its detail . . . There is a moving power and poetry to the prose that rouses Arthur from his grave and holds him to account.
One of the most shatteringly brilliant books I have read. As soon as I finished it, I read it again, and again, and again (really).
Ensler's transfixing, appalling, revelatory, and cathartic performance deepens her mission of transmuting her pain into clarion stories that engender understanding, openness, healing, and liberation . . . Daring and resounding.
Probably the most important piece of political theater of the last decade.
