The Fixed Stars by Molly Wizenberg
2.0
This memoir needed a lot more time to sit and for the author to consider her stance on various topics. Many of her opinions of the queer community were so half-baked and behind the times that I felt like this book would have been groundbreaking in 1995. I sighed and had to shut the book several times from frustration.
A good memoirist also considers the responsibility they wield. Other characters were seen in ways that may be more nuanced—and fair—in time. Last point: you can’t read the Argonauts and think you’re going to copy the Argonauts. Parts of this book were an outright ripoff or, at the least, an effort to borrow the words from a more skilled writer.
