lesbiangrandpa's review against another edition
5.0
Initial reaction: Oh, ouch. Ouch ouch.
After some settling: So much of our lives is unbearable, and Badkhen illuminates this in the desert, in the legacy of human violence, and how right she is that we're somehow so surprised that this thing (violence) keeps happening.

i’m not exactly sure what happened but i slogggggeddd through this book omg. badkhen certainly has her moments as an author, but out of the 11 essays featured i enjoyed 5, with “dark matter” and “forgiving the unforgivable” as the standout pieces. not a fully coherent read, and not an author i’d necessarily return to, but i could appreciate it nonetheless.
