It's on

"After the House Fell Silent: Of Speaking the Truth, Scapegoats, and Absorbing the Rhetoric of Blame," my review essay of Shattered Silence: The Untold Story of a Serial Killer's Daughter, is live at AMV. Come check it out.

  1. Fascinating essay. I'm trying to decide if I could read the book or not. . .

  2. Aside from some of the grisly details Moore relates about certain moments from her life, i.e., the kitten thing, some moments of peer abuse, etc., the worst thing about the book is the rhetorical flaw I mention in the final section of my essay. So if you can endure the low-quality prose, the content is inspiring.

    Or did you mean Olsen's book?
