* Description:
There is no way to talk about incest without feeling that you are lying. This is because incest lives in the realm of unreality and everything in the realm of unreality cannot be thought or said or named. When you speak of things that happen in the realm of unreality it will always feel like a lie and be treated like a lie. You are breaking the fundamental rule. You are not allowed to talk about what goes on in the realm of unreality because it isn’t real.

These essays break the spell of unreality, pulling the unspeakable things from their wrapping in silence and bursting them across the page. These essays define incest as a whole family dynamic, not as a discrete dynamic between perpetrator and victim. These essays understand incest beyond sexual assault, and shine light on the many ways incest is enacted outside of physical sexual assault. These essays reveal incest as a pattern that repeats until someone faces it and transforms it. Exploding secrecy, silence, shame, and taboo, these essays tell the truth about incest.

Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. The website you provided doesn't show all the book details. We need a webpage showing the book data (page count,...) to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Brad Audiobibliophile (trollslayer1) | 11014 comments Archiving due to non-response. You are welcome to add a new request if you'd still like this book to be added. Don't reply to this post as once it's archived it's unlikely to be read by a librarian.
