Stéphanie, a Montréal writer, is recruited by a left-wing provincial party to run in their upcoming elections. After a surprise victory she is, despite her inexperience, appointed Québec’s Minister of Culture. As she navigates her new role, a wave of #MeToo denunciations erupts in the literary world. Stéphanie begins to make connections between her own experiences and those of the survivors daring to speak out. Fragile Like a Bomb is a powerful, illuminating novel that reveals how men’s violence against women is both intimate and institutional, shaping everything from personal memory to public culture.
