It was only coming back, when my friends were the graduate students, that I realized the structural voicelessness that puts people in a position to feel powerless. When you were there, Jane’s story had become almost a myth—a tale that represented the dangers of being female in academia rather than a factual event. There’s a quote in the book: “Some realities need to be fictionalized in order to be apprehended.” The version of it that I had inherited, the version that stayed alive before the case was solved, was that her adviser had killed her because they had an affair. As I get deeper into the investigation, I don’t think at all that he’s the murderer. And so my question is both who killed Jane—but also why is this the story that has such a hold on this community? What is it trying to gesture at? [What’s] contained within this myth? I was reverse engineering that quote, where it’s like, All right, here’s the fiction, what’s the reality? Here’s reality for me. There’s a 2018 study that was done by the National Academies of Sciences that shows that 50% of female faculty have experienced sexual harassment. In the last three decades in the anthropology department, of the withdrawals from the program, 87% were female. The past is not that distant.
This book is mainly about Jane, her life, and her untimely death, but you also interweave your own view into it. Why did you make that decision? My impulse was to have as little of me in the book as possible. But I think there were a couple of structural things that made it important for me to be a character in the book. One was that for the 8 of 10 years that I was working on the book, it was unsolved.
