With the news of the Duke rape case all over the place, I am thinking of reading Joyce Carol Oates, Rape: A Love Story. It appears to be an appallingly brutal story of a town rallying around the rapists and denigrating the rape victim. And while I have the hot button topic of the Duke rape case, I recommend reading this analysis of Fox News coverage of the story as compared to that of the Holloway case. Not pretty.
