There are a lot of big subjects that our culture has trouble
talking about: wealth, death, addiction, religion. But one of the
toughest has to be sexual assault and rape. For how common sexual
violence is – it affects over half of women and almost one in three
men – it can be extremely painful and even stigmatizing to discuss.
But in Jamie Hood's new book Trauma Plot, which contextualizes rape
in her own life and in our culture, Jamie looks for new ways to
speak the "unspeakable." It tells her story in experimental
fragments and finds a unique way to discuss one of the most common
violences we face. Brittany sits down with Jamie to discuss Trauma
Plot, the contours of rape narratives in our culture, and how we
can move beyond them to tell stories about sexual violence in new
ways.
