Description

Shadow of My Shadow by Jennifer Doyle is a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of harassment, loss, and recovery. Over two years, Doyle filed multiple complaints with her campus's Title IX office and the Department of Labor, leading to a profound impact on her life.

The book delves into Doyle's experiences, revealing how she lost her sense of voice, felt exposed at work, became distrustful of colleagues, and was consumed by grief. Through a unique blend of autobiography, literary criticism, and institutional critique, Doyle sheds light on the complex nature of harassment, highlighting its intimate, dynamic, and intensely social aspects.

This powerful book is an attempt to understand and repair the breach between Doyle's inner world and her writing, as well as to consider how loss and grief can be sources of insight and compassion. A thought-provoking and deeply personal work, Shadow of My Shadow offers a unique perspective on harassment administration and its effects.
