emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

An incredibly moving and thought-provoking book about the problems with making assumptions and attempting to reduce the complexity of life to neat, orderly narratives. The way in which Miller first introduces and then problematizes the subject of the book (David Starr Jordan, a taxidermist and eugenicist) is fascinating, as is the way she weaves in details about her own existential crisis. This book is intense at times (see content warnings), but also breathtaking.
