lyratorg's review against another edition

Just fantastic. I admit there were parts that went over my head and will require more reflection to really unpack, but other views expressed were so spot on. It was a relief to know that someone else was able to verbalize what I haven't even really begun to examine.

The collection of essays seems more like a newspaper column, or a blog, focusing on books/movies/music reviews and some of her own experiences as a black American woman. As a first gen Asian American I can't relate to her experience sometimes, but her view on movie industry and white male point of view is on point.

This collection of essays offers very little insight on feminism; race and the ego of the author are the main topics. The first is very superficially analysed as is feminism and the second is done so in depth. Most of the writings critic popculture and politics with scarce references; sometimes only the name of author cited, sometimes we are lucky enough to have the name of the article/book/newspaper. This one point weakens Gay's writing. As an academic, one knows the importance of adding precise references.
