520 | . | ‡a"Griffin's astute analysis of a 1999 murder and suicide on the Kalamazoo College campus probes the links between intimate violence and larger cultural patterns, offering educators, students, and parents a map for change. Vital and disturbing, T̀he Events of October' unpacks the devastating implications of the narratives we still tell ourselves about gender, love, and power."--Joy Castro, author of The Truth Book: A Memoir. | |
520 | . | ‡a"The Events of October" powerfully accomplishes what the media fails to do in the wake of violence on college campuses: lends meaning to actions that would otherwise remain inscrutable. Griffin's book is a compelling personal reaction to a tragic event, which is supplemented with research and interviews. The result is a comprehensive and rigorous exploration of violence against women. Ezra Pound once noted that l̀iterature is news that stays news.' T̀he Events of October' embodies exactly that kind of staying power.--Sue William Silverman, author of Fearless Confessions: A Writer's Guide to Memoir. | |
520 | . | ‡aOn a Sunday Night During Homecoming weekend in 1999, Neenef Odah lured his ex-girlfriend, Maggie Wardle, to his dorm room at Kalamazoo College and killed her at close range with a shotgun before killing himself. In "The Events of October," author and Kalamazoo College professor Gail Griffin attempts to answer the lingering question of "how could this happen?" and uses Maggie and Neenef's story to explore larger issues of intimate partner violence, gun accessibility, and depression and suicide on campus. --Book Jacket. | |
