“It is in the imperative, inescapable, overwhelming demand that the victim be blamed and that you blame yourself with her. It is in the imperative, inescapable, overwhelming demand to exonerate the murdered at all costs. One does not learn to be silent: one is forced to shut up. One is forcibly silenced.”
