Fredrik Backman
“For the perpetrator, rape lasts just a matter of minutes. For the victim, it never stops.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown
tags: rape

Fredrik Backman
“What an uncomfortable, terrible source of shame it is for the world that the victim is so often the one left with the most empathy for others.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Fredrik Backman
“Ana feels like pushing her neighbour up against the wall and telling him that the locker room where those boys sit telling their stupid jokes end up preserving them like a tin can. It makes them mature more slowly, while some even go rotten inside. And they don’t have any female friends, and there are no women’s teams here, so they learn that hockey only belongs to them, and their coaches teach them that girls only exist for fucking. She wants to point out how all the old men in this town praise them for “fighting” and “not backing down,” but not one single person tells them that when a girl says no, it means NO. And the problem with this town is not only that a boy raped a girl, but that everyone is pretending that he DIDN’T do it. So now all the other boys will think that what he did was okay. Because no one cares.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Maurice Sendak
“He’s just a boy, pretending to be a wolf, pretending to be king”
Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are

Fredrik Backman
“And after all those hours in the locker room, all those nights on the team bus, all the conversations and all the jokes and the blood, sweat, and tears, the boy didn’t dare tell his coach his biggest secret.
That’s betrayal. David knows it’s a huge betrayal. There’s no other way to explain how much a grown man must have failed as a person if such a warrior of a boy could believe that his coach would be less proud of him if he were gay.
David hates himself for not being better than his dad. That’s the job of sons.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown
