Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about, and advocates for, survivors of
sexual assault. In 1999, her groundbreaking, award-winning novel Speak opened the door for a
national dialogue about rape culture and consent. Now, twenty years later, she reveals her
personal history as a rape survivor in a searing poetic memoir, SHOUT.
Praised as "captivating," "powerful," and "essential" by critics, this soul-searching memoir is a
denouncement of our society's failures and a love letter to all the people with the courage to
say #MeToo and #TimesUp, whether aloud, online, or only in their own hearts. An instant New
York Times bestseller, SHOUT received nine starred reviews and was named a best book of
the year by TIME, NPR, Seventeen, Parents, and others.
