Run Towards the Danger: Confrontations with a Body of Memory
by Sarah Polley
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
I wanted to like this more than I did. Sarah Polley's life has been fascinating (and honestly, horrifying), and this series of essays reflects on her life, her learnings and where she is today. Some essays resonated better with me than others, and the variety of topics makes it so that there's something for everyone in there. Mostly my takeaway is that the kinds of people who encourage their kids to become child actors are not the kind of people you want as parents.
