4.5
One of the best Non Fiction anthologies I’ve picked up in a long time.
Carmen Maria Machado continues to stun me with her writing. The intro is brilliant. My favourite essay is probably Thinking like the Knight but Staying with the Trouble is a close second. Each of the essays talk about one or more games and the impact they have had with the author.
Please read both trigger warnings and spoilers for the games mentioned. These essays talk a lot about mental health, gender dysphoria, addiction and more.
