Rose: Love in Violent Times

Picking up where her underground classic Cunt left off, Inga Muscio explores the impacts of passive violence, sexual abuse, war, and cultural trauma on our most intimate lives, in order to uncover a path toward a more compassionate way of living. How do we recover from the trauma we have undergone and witnessed-as individuals, as families, as communities, and as a country? With her trademark wit, Muscio tackles dire topics with a freshness and bravery that allows her readers to meet brutality face-to-face, and react powerfully with righteous rage and hopeful determination.

Chilling, eye-opening, and thoroughly enjoyable, Rose offers a unique and exhilarating perspective on achieving authentic love and self-awareness in a violent world.
