Quite simply one of the best books of the decade. Los Angeles Review of Books * The mother of intersectional Latinx identity. Cosmopolitan * Essential reading, a California classic. Rachel Kushner, author of The Flamethrowers * Witty, confident, and effortlessly provocative. The Philadelphia Inquirer * The most fearless writer in America. Luis Alberto Urrea, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Good Night, IreneA ruthless and razorsharp essay collection that tackles the pervasive, creeping oppression and toxicity that has wormed its way into societyin our books, schools, and homes, as well as the systems that perpetuate themfrom the acclaimed author of Mean, and one of our fiercest, foremost explorers of intersectional Latinx identity.A creep can be a singular figure, a villain who makes things go bump in the night. Yet creep is also what the fog doesit lurks into place to do its dirty work, muffling screams, obscuring the truth, and providing cover for those prowling within it.Creep is Myriam Gurbas informal sociology of creeps, a deep dive into the dark recesses of the toxic traditions that plague the United States and create the abusers who haunt our books, schools, and homes. Through cultural criticism disguised as personal essay, Gurba studies the ways in which oppression is collectively enacted, sustaining ecosystems that unfairly distribute suffering and premature death to our most vulnerable. Yet identifying individual creeps, creepy social groups, and creepy cultures is only half of this books projectthe other half is examining how we as individuals, communities, and institutions can challenge creeps and rid ourselves of the fog that seeks to blind us.With her ruthless mind, wry humor, and adventurous style, Gurba implicates everyone from Joan Didion to her former abuser, everything from Mexican stereotypes to the carceral state. Braiding her own history and identity throughout, she argues for a new way of conceptualizing oppression, and she does it with her signature blend of bravado and humility.
