Reckoning

De: V

Narrado por: V

The work of a lifetime from the Tony Award-winning, bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues—political, personal, profound, and more than forty years in the making.

The newest book from V (formerly Eve Ensler), Reckoning invites you to travel the journey of a writer's and activist's life and process over forty years, representing both the core of ideas that have become global movements and the methods through which V survived abuse and self-hatred. Seamlessly moving from the internal to the external, the personal to the political, Reckoning is a moving and inspiring work of prose, poetry, dreams, letters, and essays drawn from V's lifelong journals that takes listeners from Berlin to Oklahoma to the Congo, from climate disaster, homelessness, and activism to family.

Unflinching, intimate, introspective, courageous, Reckoning explores ways to create an unstoppable force for change, to love and survive love, to hold people and states accountable, to reckon with demons and honor the dead, to reclaim the body, and to see oneself as connected to a greater purpose. It reimagines what seems fixed and intractable, providing a path to understand one's unique experience as deeply rooted in the world, to break through one's own boundaries, and to write oneself into freedom.

Powerful and poetic

Powerful and poetic, Reckoning is a series of essays by V (formerly known as Eve Ensler), the creator of The Vagina Monologues. V brazenly presents her views on what womanhood means in all its diversity, and calls on us to demand reckoning - with love. Her ideas are profound and eloquently articulated - so beautifully worded that sometimes they were hard to understand, except for her expressive voice speaking them gave meaning even when the words seemed somewhat tangled. Worth a second listen.

A read for every woman

The more we share our story, our power, our frustrations, our wounds, the more we can inspire collective action. Thank you V for always speaking your truth and giving us the courage to do the same.
