Quin Archer is the revenge-loving queen of the reality TV show
Payback, and has dedicated her life to confronting and outing the
guilty. But long before she was a star, Quin was an angry teenage
student at a private New England girls' school, whose closest confidant
was her art teacher, Agnes. But when Quin (then known as Heidi) turned
to Agnes for help in a moment of desperate need, Agnes's stunned
response devastated them both. Payback is a powerful tale of #MeToo
misunderstanding, from a time before there was language to contain it,
and of the reverberations of our actions across the years. It is a
remarkable book about the precise weight of our words and deeds from a
writer whose moral vision is deeply rewarding in its subtlety.
