VIER opens a space where you can feel and understand a victim's thoughts, emotions and struggles. Through portraits, psychologists' texts and compelling prose and poetry, the journey is captured - from rape to power.
Marco Mirre Merijn Klüte: 'Welcome to the beginning of VIER. An ode to celebrating along with life, to catching blows, and ultimately learning to celebrate life. This book is a non-linear journey from rape to strength. My journey, yes, but also the journey that many victims of sexual violence take in a way. It is my head and are my words that you are going to take in this book, but the thoughts, emotions, struggles; all of this is dead on. In fact, my story is not that special or special, it's just almost not told. You may come along, along on my journey. A journey I took after four years of dragging the luggage myself and feeling worn to the bone.'
