Thin Places: Essays from in Between by Jordan Kisner

4.0

When I first heard about this book and its premise, I knew I needed to read it. I love the Celtic concept of thin places and even have a few places in my life that I have designated as thin places (Ghost Ranch in New Mexico is one of them for me). While not all of these fully connected for me or seemed connected to the central idea, I still enjoyed all of them. There are no bad essays in this collection. And some of them were actually quite insightful. I particularly enjoyed the one about the Washington Festival in Laredo, Texas. That essay really takes on the ideas of race, class and gender in some rather interesting and unique ways. I had hoped to love this book. I didn't but that's ok. It was still well worth the time I spent reading it. And I would still highly recommend it, particularly if you aren't familiar with the concept of thin places.
