damn i really wish i paid more attention in my literary theory class. I feel like it would’ve heightened the experience for me. the style of writing in this book is so compelling, I found myself framing my own memories in it: “dream house as” and second person pov.

I learned a lot reading this book. It was difficult at times but really worth it. I liked how it was informative but still a memoir. It was beautifully written, with a creative style.
