And those who loved them
Before reading, I knew only the most basic things about the dial-painters: they glowed; they died. This book did what narrative non-fiction does best, opening up a topic I'd not really considered and making it speak across the past, present and future. It's a harrowing read - the descriptions of their deaths are brutally visceral, and I cried multiple times - but always clear-eyed, informative, emotional and empathetic. The cruelty shown by URSC, Radium Dial and other forces in the industry would be unthinkable if it wasn't all too common under capitalism.
