Because
"[Because] is a rare and remarkable text. Although it deals unswervingly with abuse, violations of trust and the deeply damaging effect of both of these, it is also literary, powerful and consoling…A deeply achieved record of human truth, earned at cost and beautifully expressed."
Eavan Boland
Because, explores with extraordinary literary power and sophistication the toxic power of adults who prey on the children in their care. It begins when Joshua Mensch is ten years old and meets Don, the charming director of a youth wilderness camp and a lifelong friend of his parents. Les mer
An unflinching take on the vulnerabilities and dangers of childhood, Because succumbs neither to self-pity nor platitudes but instead finds consolation in the healing power of its own narrative act.
