We Learn Nothing by Tim Kreider

4.0

This was my second Kreider essay collection, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. He's casual but insightful (about himself and others), funny and forgiving of foibles (his and others'), cynical but hopeful. And always funny and sharp, with a great use of language and allusion.

His essay on a longtime mentor transitioning is really great, in part because it is 100% supportive, but acknowledges these situations can create odd layers of memory and understanding for loved ones.

Kreider is just always worth reading.
