Well now I am so very sad

It is cool to see a trans masc serve cunt amongst the sadness, but there is so much sad nonetheless

A cross of As I Lay Dying and Grapes of Wrath

The book is very good for the first part, but once the father is buried I think it lost its way a little bit. I suppose the father was supposed to be redeemed but I didn't buy it. The ending was also unsatisfying and felt disconnected to the earlier parts of the book.

Reminds me a lot of The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. It's very beautifully written.
