No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies: A Lyric Essay by Julian Aguon

emotional informative fast-paced

4.0

really appreciated this work and being able to learn more about guam from chamorro voices. Aguon weaves the personal with the political, economic, and colonial effortlessly- because those things can never really be separate. learning about the american imperial project in Guam specifically is sickening, but something everyone (especially those of us living in the US) should learn about. 

only giving less than 4.75/5 stars for some of the more repetitive stories (we get it, the alchemist) & some feelings of distaste lol. also didn’t love the audiobook narrator… oops
