Book
Say this : two novellas / Elise Levine.
"It's a cold spring in Baltimore, 2018, when the email arrives: the celebrity journalist hopes Eva will tell him everything about the sexual affair she had as a teen with her older cousin, a man now in federal prison for murder. Thirteen years earlier, Lenore-May answers the phone to the nightmare news that her stepson's body has been found near Mount Hood, and homicide is suspected. Following Eva's unsettling ambivalence towards her confusing relationship, and constructing a portrait of her cousin's victim via collaged perspectives of the slain man's family, these two linked novellas borrow, interrogate, sometimes dismantle the tropes of true crime; lyrically render the experiences of grief and dissociation; and brilliantly mine the fault lines of power and consent, silence, justice, accountability, and class. Say This is a startling exploration of the devastating effects of trauma on personal identity."--Provided by publisher.
