In this provocative essay collection, the author "leans into her roles as both victim and predator [with] prose that’s casual and cool and often funny" (The New York Times).In six wide-ranging essays, Kathleen Hale traces some of the most treacherous fault lines in modern America-from sexual assault to Internet trolling, from environmental illness to our own animal nature. From hunting wild hogs in Florida to a standoff with an anonymous blogger, Hale takes no prisoners and fears no subject."First I Got Pregnant. Then I Decided to Kill the Mountain Lion" recounts the month Hale spent tracking a wild cat in the Hollywood Hills while pregnant. "Prey" tells the troubling story of her sexual assault as a freshman in college. Through these and other essays, Hale wields razor-sharp wit, deep empathy, and daring honesty, even in detailing some of the most difficult moments of her life.
