Who says a man can't make a difference in the movement to end violence against women?
One of the most exciting aspects of The Voices and Faces Project
is that it brings together a truly diverse group of women and men engaged in the fight to end sexual violence and trafficking. One of those men is R. Clifton Spargo, a novelist and cultural critic who has been a part of The Voices and Faces Project since its founding, and the creator of "The Stories We Tell," our testimonial writing workshop for survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence, and trafficking.
The Stories We Tell has traveled to 5 North American cities since its inception, and will visit 4 more in the coming months. We’ve loved watching this first-of-its-kind workshop change lives, one survivor at a time. We are grateful to Clifton for his vision, compassion, and talents as a teacher — and for being someone who creates a safe space for writers to explore their voices and creativity.
Praised by reviewers in the Boston Globe, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and numerous other publications, Beautiful Fools is a novel about a passionate enduring love, about the search for second acts in life, and about last chances.
“It takes a brave novelist to tackle Scott and Zelda, those mythic ghosts of the Jazz Age," says Tom Perrotta, author of Election and Little Children. “Luckily, Spargo is more than just brave. Beautiful Fools is a vivid and revealing look at two charismatic, self-destructive people...a real feat of historical imagination and novelistic empathy."
