Book Reviews of A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer

Book Review: Great Metamorphosis for Eve Ensler's Work
Summary: 5 Stars

I help to produce our college's production of _The Vagina Monologues_ every year. We love Eve Ensler's work, including _The Good Body_. This collection by several authors and edited by Eve Ensler is even better in some ways, because the many voices in this work speak for themselves. There are voices from many points of view, including men, and all of them speak about violence against women in some way. The inclusion of men is terrific. Every year we have to find alternative ways for the men in our college to participate in our production, and this always leads to discussion of inclusion. Well, here it is--and many of these writers, male and female are amazing. If there's a critique to mount against this work, I guess it would be that its very nature means that the pieces are generally negative--how could they be anything else, given the theme? There is some humor and some uplift, and I certainly don't want to suggest that you shouldn't read it, because you should. We eagerly await Eve's next project!
