Ooph! Heavy and thoughtful and challenging. Amazing writer. Incredibly unique and intriguing writing structure. I was afraid it would be a slog to get through a new theme every couple pages, but it's one arc of a story told through dozens of facets and lenses. Remarkably cohesive, the structure gave a much more full and nuanced representation than a typical memoir structure would have. It's like how I tell stories. A little scattered and sometimes tangential, but it represents the message all the same. Ended up being engrossed by the serial style narrative.
