Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality by Hanne Blank

2.0

I was really disappointed in this book. I really really wanted to like it but I had to stop at page 103 out of the 166 pages that have actual content (the rest is bibliography.) The introduction had some interesting aspects about the author’s life and how it connects to the subject, but everything else felt like it was meandering and the bulk of the I formation was concepts I was already familiar with and would have preferred to hear about more in-depth, but sadly this book did not deliver. I guess I could recommend it for a reader who has little-to-no knowledge of gender studies but only if they’re comfortable with dry academic texts.
