Review:
Howard Swindle is a writer who feels strongly about oppression. In his award-winning previous book, Deliberate Indifference, he wrote about a crime of racial injustice. In Trespasses, he turns the same keen attention to the crime of rape, which he calls "the betrayal of intimacy ... an assault on the most personal, inviolate core of our souls." This book focuses on a suspenseful story about just one man--the "Ski Mask Rapist" whose long spree was part of why Dallas in the 80s had a per capita rape incidence that was twice that of New York City--but Swindle explores his subject with a broad-based perspective. He quotes and addresses the arguments of Susan Brownmiller, Andrea Dworkin, and other feminist writers on the subject of rape; and he educates the reader about different types of rapists and their motivations. Trespasses is nominated for a 1997 Edgar Award.
About the Author:
Howard Swindle is assistant managing editor for investigative reporting at The Dallas Morning News.
