This is a navigation of pain and sadness, and also a celebration of love and good times. There’s a beauty and optimism here. Definitely recommended.
Reviews and Comments
I’m interested in a multitude of things, including social justice, socialism, history, poetry, magical realism (fiction), capitalism, race, class struggle, wine, baseball, music…
So mostly non-fiction, though I read maybe two novels per year.
