rieviolet's review against another edition
3.5
I did not get along with the narrative structure, I found the rapid-fire succession of chapters (supposed to show different genres and narrative styles) too much disjointed and confusing. The writing style is a bit too much experimental for me.
I liked much more the chapters that were "essay-like", exploring queer history and theory. However, I think that this mixing of informative chapters together with more literary and elaborately written ones was a bit jarring, it felt like two different books mashed up.

“ . . . you can be hurt by people who look just like you. Not only can it happen, it probably will, because the world is full of hurt people who hurt people.”
so beautifully-written, brutal in its honesty, and heartbreaking.

As a queer woman, reading this memoir was an empowering experience. I felt that it had been written for people like me, in a world where queer women and femme folk don't get to claim many things as their own. If that's how you identify as well, I sincerely hope one day you find yourself reading <i>In the Dream House</i>. It's an important book.
