Sick: A Memoir by Porochista Khakpour

emotional slow-paced

2.0

a real masterclass of a book if you want to write a narrator who lacks self-awareness, is obsessed with her own beauty, manipulates & self-mythologizes whenever possible, & appears not to have ever met anyone else with multiple complications from TBI & chronic illness. genuinely got a great deal out of this book & feel like I learned a lot about narrative, but I don’t think the book was “good” in that I don’t think it achieved its own aims. that said, we all gotta pay bills: I respect the hustle.
