I really enjoyed how this book was written and the author did a really great job at showing me a different perspective. It was truly captivating. This is a great book to read in order to learn about the many issues going on in Canada. The author did a really great job at making sure readers are fully invested in the book, especially in the last chapter. Thank you Alicia Elliott for sharing your story!

This is a series of autobiographical essays about dehumanization and the intersections of misogyny, poverty, mental illness and racism in the US and Canada. I really enjoyed the way the author would pull in disparate elements (the history of dark matter, a Susan Sontag essay about photography) to illustrate wider points, and most of the essays were beautiful.
