How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler
emotional
informative
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
Enjoyed this collection of memoir essays that mixed science with the personal. Super interesting descriptions and stories about different sea creatures paired nicely with personal anecdotes/reflection on the author’s experiences being mixed race and queer.
My main criticism is that some of the essays felt pretty “same-y” in structure, with alternating sections of science and memoir. I found it hard to get through several of the middle essays for that reason. Read on their own or paced out a bit more, this works totally fine. Last essay hit me like a sledgehammer though, OOF.
