lthale 's review for:
Run Towards the Danger: Confrontations with a Body of Memory
by Sarah Polley
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
I've seen this so much lately that I had no clue it's actually backlist! This is a bit similar to Maggie O'Farrell's I Am, I Am, I Am but the threats and dangers are written about, to me, in a much more relatable, accessible way. As with any book of essays or short stories, I enjoyed some much more than others, and I particularly enjoyed the ones in which Polley writes about issues related to her motherhood. This could have been just under a 4 star read for me, but Polley is such an incredible writer that even the essays about content that didn't really interest me were written so well that I couldn't stop listening. It's no mystery she managed to win an Oscar for best adapted screenplay!
