Dirty Harvey

Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow

September 8, 2022 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

Going in to this audiobook, I though I knew the whole story about the Harvey Weinstein, but this story is genuinely so much more. The retelling of this story by investigative journalist Ronan Farrow (yes, that Ronan Farrow) and his quest to ‘out’ a predator is… important. It’s not just about his diligence in following up leads, supporting the unheard and diminished voices of victims, and contributing to the start of the #MeToo movement. It’s also about the insidious cover-ups by the media, the hopeless […]

Holiday Reads: Alsatian Edition

Mortal Causes (Inspector Rebus #6) by Ian Rankin

Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow

Perfect Silence (DI Callanach #4) by Helen Fields

August 17, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

Vacationing with young children is hard work, people, even if you’re on a campsite that has not one, but two trampolines (“mum, see what I can do!”). Nevertheless I managed to sneak in a couple of books as I hung about in the (beautiful and very hot) Alsatian countryside, so here goes.  Mortal Causes (Ian Rankin) *** Mortal Causes is Inspector Rebus book no. 6 and though I’ve read the previous five, I had to look that up. I also forgot what it was about […]

Frustrating, intriguing, and even sometimes satisfying

Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow

March 29, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

If anyone’s a long time Kfishgirl fan (like read my CBR posts in the past few years), you’ll know that my favorite thing / something that brings me silly joy is when the title of the book is mentioned in the actual book itself.  I also like when people run out of bullets in movies and throw their gun at their enemies, but that’s a different topic.  Catch and Kill is basically what media organizations were doing or are currently doing when there’s a big […]

“Men’s rights is nothing!”

Catch and Kill by Ronan Farrow

January 26, 2022 by Zoë 2 Comments

…as the immortal Leslie Knopes notes.  I’ll admit that I’ve stayed away from this because I don’t need more evidence that while notallmen, white men sure do a hell of a lot of damage. However, I’m trying really hard to cultivate outside interests this year, so what the hey. Farrow skillfully balances the line of injecting enough of his personality to be engaging without overtaking the narrative. He appears to be very aware of his celebrity and it’s easy to see how he was able […]

Them Too

Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow

December 24, 2020 by Jake Leave a Comment

(TW: mention of rape, sexual assault) As popular as this book was when it dropped last year, I didn’t have a burning desire to read it. I’ve volunteered before with a group that does arts and advocacy against rape culture so I know firsthand how difficult it is for survivors, especially those of marginalized identities. I had read the major pieces of Ronan Farrow’s (stellar) reporting and figured that was enough. A few weeks ago, I saw this in the library and figured What the heck? Finally […]

“Ultimately, the reason Harvey Weinstein followed the route he did is because he was allowed to, and that’s our fault. As a culture that’s our fault.”

Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow

October 20, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

Like a lot of people, I read this in close proximity to She Said, the other book published in 2019 about breaking the Harvey Weinstein story. (I liked She Said better. I liked that both authors were ladies, and I liked the close focus on true journalism and building relationships with their sources; it really centered the women’s stories and how they had been affected.) But this one is different enough in tone and style that it brings a lot to the table, as well, […]
