This is a sad book. I did not realize going in. It is a focused memoir that centers on an event that happened in college and left its marks. Hsu is a fine writer, a New Yorker staff writer and a professor with a PhD from Harvard. Surprisingly, this memoir felt flat to me. As many memoirs out there today, this is introspective to a fault. It has its merits, but it did not inspire me.

The author lived through one of my worst nightmares so I guess that means something??
