challenging dark sad medium-paced

4.5

This was obviously very, very heavy, and of course it was excellently written. 

Also, this is yet another incident of my reading an essay collection from a famous novelist before reading any of their novels, joining such company as Diana Wynne Jones, Neil Gaiman, and Zadie Smith.

clarabooksit's review against another edition

dark emotional funny informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

-Supremely well-written: the combination of research, journalism and personal narrative is stunning, compelling and persuasive.
-It gutted my understanding of what anti-semitism really is and how it functions in society by highlighting just how insidious and pervasive it is.
-I was breathless, heartbroken and enraged while reading this.
-Horn’s persistent hope, compassion and humor are inspiring.
-I couldn’t stop thinking about it for weeks.
