This is quite a strange read at times and I know it's not for everyone but I really enjoy Funder's mix of memoir and journalism. It's also interesting because it was published 20 years ago so the history and stories it discusses are even further removed from us now but are still so powerful and fascinating. I listened to the audiobook for the first time, which isn't narrated by Anna Funder herself but I still really liked it.
