Objectively, this is thoroughly reported and sensitively written, but I experienced it as spending an uncomfortable amount of time with the most toxic and unreasonable people I went to high school with.
Very important subject matter but just too intense for me to finish at this point in time

If you are feeling down and the daily drumbeat of existential doom and gloom asking with very real horror and tragedy have left you hanging on then please don't read this.
However, if you accept that there are exceptionally dark storm clouds all about and though they may be dense and overpowering, you still know that information is power and that with communication and hard work positive change and connection is still possible.... well, maybe you still shouldn't read. OK, I'm kidding but just know that this book will challenge you to maintain that spirit BUT I found solace of a sort in this beautiful book. I've met and befriended a lot of folks like the author encounters on his journey and there's a part of me that absolutely understands why they believe what they believe and feel the way they do. I'm not done caring and I truly appreciated learning more about places I don't read or hear about in the country I live in. There's a lot of painful poetic encounters in these essays and if we turn away then we've lost.
