What is The First Stone: Some Questions About Sex and Power about?
“At first, when I imagined this book as an extended piece of reportage, the only names I changed were those of the two young women, since our law forbids the identification of the complainants in cases of alleged indecent assault. However, I soon encountered obstacles to my research which forced me, ultimately, to write a broader, less ‘objective’, more personal book. They also obliged me to raise the story on to a level where, instead of its being just an incident specific to one institution at one historical moment, its archetypal features have become visible. This is why I have felt free to invent names for all the characters.”
