HTML:<p><b><i>She Said</i> meets <i>Lucky</i> in Michelle Bowdler's provocative debut, telling the story of her rape and recovery while interrogating why one of society's most serious crimes goes largely uninvestigated.</b></p> <p>The crime of rape sizzles like a lightning strike. It pounces, flattens, destroys. A person stands whole, and in a moment of unexpected violence, that life, that body is gone.</p> <p>Award-winning writer and public health executive Michelle Bowdler's memoir indicts how sexual violence has been addressed for decades in our society, asking whether rape is a crime given that it is the least reported major felony, least successfully prosecuted, and fewer than 3% of rapists ever spend a day in jail. Cases are closed before they are investigated and DNA evidence sits for years untested and disregarded.</p> <p>Rape in this country is not treated as a crime of brutal violence but as a parlor game of he said / she said. It might be laughable if it didn't work so much of the time.</p> <p>Given all this, it seems fair to ask whether rape is actually a crime.</p> <p>In 1984, the Boston Sexual Assault Unit was formed as a result of a series of break-ins and rapes that terrorized the city, of which Michelle's own horrific rape was the last. Twenty years later, after a career of working with victims like herself, Michelle decides to find out what happened to her case and why she never heard from the police again after one brief interview.</p> <p><i>Is Rape a Crime?</i> is an expert blend of memoir and cultural investigation, Michelle's story is a rallying cry to reclaim our power and right our world.</p> <p><b>A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books</b></p>.
