Like millions of women, Eve Ensler has been waiting much of her lifetime for an apology. Sexually and physically abused by her father, Eve has struggled her whole life from this betrayal, longing for an honest reckoning from a man who is long dead. After years of work as an anti-violence activist, she decided she would wait no longer; an apology could be imagined, by her, for her, to her.

Playwright, author, and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female body - how to talk about it, how to protect and value it. Yet she spent much of her life disassociated from her own body - a disconnection brought on by her father’s sexual abuse and her mother’s remoteness. “Because I did not, could not inhabit my body or the Earth,” she writes, “I could not feel or know their pain.” But Ensler is shocked out of her distance.

The newest book from V (formerly Eve Ensler), Reckoning invites you to travel the journey of a writer's and activist's life and process over forty years, representing both the core of ideas that have become global movements and the methods through which V survived abuse and self-hatred. Seamlessly moving from the internal to the external, Reckoning is a moving and inspiring work of prose, poetry, dreams, letters, and essays drawn from V's lifelong journals that takes listeners from Berlin to Oklahoma to the Congo, from climate disaster, homelessness, and activism to family.

Devo chiederti scusa, mia piccola Eve. Devo spiegarti come ho potuto oltrepassare quel confine, il tabù supremo. Come ho potuto desiderare la mia bambina così appassionatamente. I primi anni ho combattuto il desiderio, sai? Mi limitavo a entrare in camera tua e guardarti dormire. Ero innamorato della tua innocenza, della tua tenerezza angelica. Poi, quando avevi cinque anni, un giorno piangevi forte e io non sapevo più come consolarti, e ho cominciato ad accarezzarti, Eve. Da allora non sono più riuscito a smettere.
