概要

For readers of Know My Name by Chanel Miller and fans of Broadway’s John Proctor Is the Villain, a stunning memoir in verse about sexual abuse, survival, and sisterhood from the New York Times bestselling author of Blood Water Paint.

Joy McCullough’s earliest memories are of time spent in church, moments when she climbed the steps to recite from the pulpit, just like her preacher father. But when she was a teenager in San Diego in the 1990s, her connection to her family and church were forever altered when a youth pastor groomed and sexually assaulted Joy.

In her debut memoir, McCullough pairs achingly raw poems recalling her abuse and its aftermath with hopeful, challenging verses about her life today as she seeks healing and justice in a country that rewards men for sexual abuse and still insists “girls these days will say anything.”

Among the poems, McCullough also weaves prose letters to historical girls and women—from Joan of Arc to Abigail Williams—whose lives and stories were ignored when they were caught in the maelstrom of witchcraft accusations.

Suffer a Witch shines a bright, unsparing light on one woman’s experience—and on those of generations of women who came before her.

批評家のレビュー

"Suffer a Witch is an untraditional telling of deeply traditional experiences, though we prefer not to think of 'tradition' when it comes to the abuse of women. We should. Alternating verse narration with epistles to witches and other truth-tellers of old, McCullough transforms her account into a choral demonstration of testimony and power, and of the ways women have been literally and figuratively burned for the crime of bearing witness. You don’t have to have been raised female in the church to recognize these verses. It’s the scripture of abuse McCollough evokes here, and it’s impossible to look away. This is ultimately a parable of strength."—Lacy Crawford, award-winning author of Notes on a Silencing
