Kate Elizabeth Russell: My Dark Vanessa (Paperback, 2020, William Morrow) 4 stars

Well worth the read

4 stars

An uncomfortable but engrossing read and a mirror of sorts to the novel Lolita, which Russell clearly admires as much as I do. Though the prose is not as sublime as Nabokov's, it's well-written and engaging. Set before and after #MeToo Vanessa's story, what happens to her, and how she struggles with her experiences all feel extremely true and real. Though the subject matter is horrible, this is an important and compelling read, potentially at its best as a chaser to Lolita by Nabokov.

4 THOUSAND followers disappeared. Now my friends, the ones I follow, disappear by the hundreds overnight.

How?

Zugegeben, das sollte ich viel öfter posten,

Miss Jones steht für und die Freude an der kulturellen Vielfalt auf unserem Planeten. Dafür, dass wir alle gut leben können. Rassismus behindert das.

Das trifft als nicht nur, die Betroffenen. In meinem Artikel über habe ich über einen Übergriff, den ich erlebt habe, erzählt. Ich wurde nicht ernst genommen, weil der Täter kein "Ausländer" war.
