turtlebean 's review for:
Thick: And Other Essays
by Tressie McMillan Cottom
I admittedly only finished this one because GoodReads negged me by sending my "annual" reading list on December 16th - I STILL HAD TWO WEEKS OF READING LEFT, GOODREADS!
A book that I was 50% through with generous spacing was irresistible.
I struggled initially because the introduction felt very long, and I was having a hard time absorbing the academic language (NOT Cottom's fault! Just my brain in this particular month).
But I'm so glad I stuck with it, because I ended up really loving the essays later in the book, particularly Black Girlhood, Interrupted and Girl 6.
