There have been some great features and profiles on me and this novel, but nothing took my breath away more than this review from LA WEEKLY. Thank you to the writer Falling James for so eloquently and thoughtfully examining the work in this book. Thank you for seeing me. ::::::::: "In Amber Tamblyn’s bracing new novel, Any Man, a serial rapist is attacking a disparate assortment of men across the Northeastern United States. The fact that the attacker is a lone woman makes it more confusing and humiliating for the victims, who become even more frustrated because the police can’t find any trace of her, much less a motive or a pattern.
.
Only one of the victims ends up seeing the rapist’s face, while the rest are drugged, violently assaulted and even maimed. After dealing with their own feelings of shame, inadequacy and powerlessness, the shell-shocked men undergo a second wave of assaults from the voyeuristic media, variously unconcerned police departments, and even their own friends and family, who wonder how these men could “allow” themselves to be hurt.
.
By reversing stereotypical roles and making the rapist a woman, Tamblyn could have settled for creating a cathartic revenge fantasy, a story that would take on even more emotional resonance in the current climate of sharp political divisions and increasing awareness of women’s rights and empowerment.
.

But Tamblyn is going after something much deeper and more nuanced in Any Man. Instead of turning the male victims into typical caricatures who deserve punishment — an abusive boss or a cheating husband, for instance — the author instead presents most of them as dynamically unique individuals who reveal their souls, hopes, fears and even gallows humor in separately distinctive and poignantly moving ways.
.

Although these men have their flaws, such as the outrageously opinionated gay, conservative celebrity Sebastian White, it’s obvious that none of them morally deserves to be attacked and traumatized. What’s maddening to the victims and the increasingly frightened men of the Northeast is that there appears to be no reason — logical or otherwise — why the rapist chooses her victims...” (link in bio)
