Shout

　　作家洛莉．荷茲．安德森（Laurie Halse Anderson）於20年前出版了入圍國家書卷獎決選著作《我不再沉默》，此書開創性地圍繞性侵敏感議題，並成功引起討論。20年後的今天，我們的社會還是存在著性騷擾文化，而改善這個文化的力量如此的微小，被性侵者的處境和社會關注仍在原地踏步，於是她寫了一本詩歌回憶錄《SHOUT》，獻給那些給她啟發的粉絲們，譴責社會對於受暴者的不重視，並為那些有勇氣說出 #MeToo 和 #TimesUp 的人們寫一封情書。



　　此書呼應了作者的個人經驗，她用詩的語言追溯童年的受暴經歷，還有父親的戰後創傷所帶來的影響。她透過寫作，一步步練習將這些惡夢說出了口，也希望藉由此書取得話語權，批判社會上對於性自主權的錯誤理解。



　　安德森曾於訪談中這樣說道：「向強暴文化宣戰的誓言，也是克服傷痛、一路走來的慶賀。」SHOUT將用一個響亮且清晰的聲音說出真相，一旦你聽到了，就絕不可能忽視。

A New York Times bestseller and one of 2019’s best-reviewed books, a poetic memoir and call to action from the award-winning author of Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson!

Bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about, and advocates for, survivors of sexual assault. Now, inspired by her fans and enraged by how little in our culture has changed since her groundbreaking novel Speak was first published twenty years ago, she has written a poetry memoir that is as vulnerable as it is rallying, as timely as it is timeless. In free verse, Anderson shares reflections, rants, and calls to action woven between deeply personal stories from her life that she’s never written about before. Described as ＂powerful,＂ ＂captivating,＂ and ＂essential＂ in the nine starred reviews it’s received, this must-read memoir is being hailed as one of 2019’s best books for teens and adults. A denouncement of our society’s failures and a love letter to all the people with the courage to say #MeToo and #TimesUp, whether aloud, online, or only in their own hearts, SHOUT speaks truth to power in a loud, clear voice-- and once you hear it, it is impossible to ignore.
