The quality of the writing is not what you should pay attention to in this book. It's not bad, but it could be better, yes, but how hard must it be to write a book like this, even after all this time. And as much as I am usually an advocate for good writing, I don't think an editor should change a book like this beyond recognition. The hardest part for me to read this book, has been the consent that society gave to this abuser. People who are absolutely against cancel culture and are fighting for separating the art from the artist should read this book, because in here you can find the downside of it and the consequences this has for the victims. Springora gives them a convincing voice. And she herself decided to speak up, after the famous author who has been her abuser, has been honoured for his work with a national prize. Also hard to read are the parts when she still thinks about, how this "relationship" could have been different. It is not her fault at all and I'm not judging her for that, it only shows how fundamentally you are changed by being a crime like this.

◦ Mental illness = Depression, psychosis, PTSD
◦ Sexual violence = Ephebophilia, grooming, statutory rape [at least since 2021, before that there wasn't an age of consent in place in france, having sex with a minor could be prosecuted but carried much lighter penalties than rape]
