Fragile Like a Bomb

Beschreibung

Sté phanie, a Montré al writer, is recruited by a left-wing provincial party to run in their upcoming elections. After a surprise victory she is, despite her inexperience, appointed Qué bec's Minister of Cultural Affairs. As she navigates her new role, a wave of #MeToo denunciations erupts in the literary world. Sté phanie begins to make connections between her own experiences and those of the survivors daring to speak out. Fragile Like a Bomb is a powerful, illuminating novel that reveals how men's violence against women is both intimate and institutional, shaping everything from personal memory to public culture.
