A review by emily2348
Mercy by Andrea Dworkin

5.0

the penultimate chapter was the best of the book, the whole book was like seeing a woman slowly unravel because of constant subjection and abuse from males. took me so long to get through because it was so brutal and true to life as a woman. i am still thinking about it a week on and listening to her talk about this book dworkin is an especially genius fiction writer.

“It’s very important for women to kill men. His death, of course, is unbearable. His death is intolerable, unspeakable, unfair, insufferable; I agree; I learned it since the day I was born; terrible; his death is terrible; are you crazy; are you stupid; are you cruel? He can't be killed; for what he did to you?”
