Having and Being Had by Eula Biss

Probably the best version of White Woman points at stuff and says "Huh, really makes you think" I've read (And as white woman who loves pointing, I've read many)

Many stand out essays among mostly meandering thoughts on Emily Dickinson and Virginia Wolfe. Definitely worth reading once, and possibly even twice.

I give it 3 vanilla greek yogurt & granola parfaits out of 5. It's what you're looking for, if you're into that sort of thing.

Meh. This felt like a collection of musings, but with little input from the author.

I was expecting this to be a more general look/analysis of capitalism. Not sure that I got much out of it but some of the essays were interesting.
