I know less than Daniel Lavery about the Bible and nothing at all about Columbo, so this book — more essay collection than coherent memoir — was a bit hit or mess for me. His essays on the Golden Girls and William Shatner, both of whom I know nothing about, soar.

"How like me not to keep a written record of anything I might later like to read."
"I've developed a different sort of relationship to uncertainty, one where I no longer consider avoiding change to be the highest good."

Wonderfully written series of essays wherein the author explores his relationship with his body and transitioning. He offers a lot of nuance and reflects on his experiences in relationship with the church, patriarchy, and culture. The Golden Girls essay made me cry, the Evelyn Waugh essay was brilliant, and his Green Knight essay was delightfully relatable. As someone who wasn’t raised Christian though, I had a hard time with the first couple of essays, although I could still understand his overall points.
