I contemplated logging this for a while since it’s, admittedly, not something I would read by choice and I was only made to read it for a class this past semester.
Having said that, this is one of the most beautiful and engaging pieces of literature I’ve ever interacted with. McMahon weaves the personal, the cultural, and the epigenetic together with such poetry, literal and metaphorical, that I’m almost at a loss for what to even say.
If you’ve ever felt connected to the world in a way larger than you can describe, read this memoir. If you haven’t, read this memoir.
