Background
Harvey Weinstein is a former American film producer who was convicted of rape and sexual assault in 2020. In October 2017, The New York Times and The New Yorker published articles detailing allegations of sexual misconduct against Weinstein by multiple women. Weinstein denied the allegations, but the articles sparked a wave of similar accusations from other women.
Ronan Farrow is an American journalist who has written extensively about sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry. In 2017, he began investigating the allegations against Weinstein. He interviewed dozens of women who had accused Weinstein of misconduct, and he also obtained internal documents from Weinstein's company, The Weinstein Company.
The Book
Catch and Kill tells the story of Farrow's investigation into the Weinstein allegations. The book details the efforts by Weinstein and his associates to silence the accusers, including threats, intimidation, and lawsuits. Farrow also describes the resistance he faced from his own editors at NBC News, who were reluctant to publish his story.
The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the allegations against Weinstein and the efforts to silence the accusers. The second part details Farrow's investigation into the Weinstein allegations. The third part discusses the broader implications of the Weinstein case, including the rise of the #MeToo movement and the need for greater accountability in the entertainment industry.
Critical Reception
Catch and Kill was praised by critics for its detailed reporting and its unflinching look at the Weinstein scandal. The book was named one of the best books of 2019 by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Time magazine.
"Catch and Kill is a riveting account of one of the most important stories of our time," wrote Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times. "Farrow's reporting is meticulous and his writing is clear and concise. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Weinstein scandal and its implications for the #MeToo movement."
"Catch and Kill is an important work of journalism that shines a light on the dark underbelly of the entertainment industry," wrote Ron Charles in The Washington Post. "Farrow's reporting is fearless and his s are damning. This is a book that will make you angry, but it will also give you hope."
Catch and Kill is a powerful and important book that tells the story of the Weinstein scandal and its implications for the #MeToo movement. Farrow's reporting is meticulous and his writing is clear and concise. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand one of the most important stories of our time.
