lovely series of reflections from several generations of the same family. not necessarily united by telling a single narrative, but providing glimpses into moments in the lives of several generations of this family. beautiful.
the most profound inclusion of 9/11 or Tulsa that I've encountered - not about these events, but about how they shaped the experiences of the characters.
