A review by baancs
Beartown by Fredrik Backman

emotional reflective slow-paced

5.0

Culture is as much about what we encourage as what we actually permit. (...) That most people don’t do what we tell them to. They do what we let them get away with.

An infuriating look at sports and rape culture: how one town, whose world revolves around hockey, has cultivated a culture that protects the sport (and its players) at whatever cost. A powerful story with really beautiful writing. Great read!
