This book was a quietly moving wander through questions of belonging, crisis and post-crisis, memory, and family. Narratives and questions, broken apart, and spun simultaneously as the authors moves back and forth through time and narration from mythological and family pasts to the day of writing (the refrain today is DATE in 2018 and I am writing… oops up often). I personally enjoyed the style and musings, but could see how some might get lost or impatient depending on how the book resonates (or not) with you.
