Algonquin Books refuses to make a public statement regarding their complicity in Gregory Sherl’s abuse of women, even though I’ve made clear that he especially preys on women who admire his work. At first I was patient because Gregory is incredibly charming and he no doubt manipulated those he was in business with but at this point I have entirely dismissed Algonquin Books as a respectable press. What else is there to say? What is there to discuss? I went as far as showing you the bed where he raped me, the bed I have to sleep in every night. And I am not a stranger to them – they know who I am and have easy access to all my contact information since I was their beloved author’s fiancee & personal caretaker for a very long winter. At the time of our relationship they acknowledged my existence because the fact that he was engaged to a “grounded” person helped his story/helped their story/helped them go ahead w/ their book & not have to address the issue. They didn’t even consider that HE MIGHT ALSO BE ABUSING ME. They completely dismissed Kat Dixon’s allegations because it was the convenient thing to do. Now I am free and have spoken the truth, reiterated the other victims’ truths, and nothing. As if they cannot be bothered. As if there is still something to consider. How many women does it take for one story to be heard?
