It’s just perfect.
Six essays that made me deeply examine and then rethink everything I thought about race, class, and gender. And Cottom somehow manages to do all that while being very very funny.
Bonus points for reminding me why I dropped out of grad school. She’s an academic, yes, but also a glorious challenge to the academic culture and I love that she’s winning.
Read this now. And then re-read it in a few months. Buy copies for friends. All the things.

Every essay was interesting and provided thinking points. Tressie’s voice is very powerful and it shows through her writing. Good read for those who want to learn more about intersectionality.
