*FORMER TEACHER HAD MOTIVE.* Recently suspended for a so-called outburst, high school English teacher Anna Crawford is stewing over the injustice at home when she is shocked to see herself named on television as a suspect in a shooting at the school where she works. Though she is quickly exonerated, and the actual teenage murderer identified, her life is nevertheless held up for relentless scrutiny and judgment as this quiet town descends into media mania. Gun sales skyrocket, victims are transformed into martyrs, and the rules of public mourning are ruthlessly enforced. Anna decides to wholeheartedly reject the culpability she’s somehow been assigned, and the rampant sexism that comes with it, both in person and online. A piercing feminist howl written in trenchant prose, *How to Be Safe* is a compulsively readable, darkly funny exposé of the hypocrisy that ensues when illusions of peace are shattered.Num of Aut : 1Number of Words in Auth: 2Title Parm B : (Title Parm A : How to Be SafeTitle Parm F : How to Be SafeTitle Parm D : How to Be SafeRecord ID : TEMPLATE ERROR Value: unknown field idUncomma Author : Tom McAllisterwords : 59559Single Author : McAllister, TomSorted Author by LN, FN: McAllister, TomTitle Length : 014Has Cover : TEMPLATE ERROR Interpreter: Internal error evaluating an expression: 'Metadata object has no attribute named: 'has_cover'' - line number 1Number of Formats : 0
