2.0
The rating is much more about my reading expierince of this book then a value of it cause the prose was the kind of dense style that I had a hard time reading, there are concepts I encountered already ( “Books of the sort I want to write are banned, for they are against the world that birthed the writer.”) that I like tried to mental hold onto to understand the book but - it felt too unfocused for it to work for me, the constant quoting of others just made me want to read someone else and the general bleak tone (which he of course is entitled to! just wasnt for me).
Graphic: Mental illness, Mass/school shootings, Colonisation, Sexual content, Racism, Suicide, Body shaming, Rape, Transphobia, Genocide, Police brutality, and Homophobia

Truly one of the best pieces of work I have ever read. I will reread this, and then reread it again -- I know that I still have so much to gain, so much to learn, so much to appreciate from this work.
