A review by jbzar
After Disasters by Viet Dinh

2.0

I thought this book would offer a series of interesting portrayals of the trials and tribulations that people suffer dealing with the aftermath of disasters. What I didn't expect was for it to be a series of stories about the trials and tribulations of gay people who happen to be among those contending with the aftermath of disasters. The latter element didn't really come out until about half way in to the book but it dominated from there forward. And it strayed far away from anything having to do with natural or man-made disasters. That might work for some people but it didn't work for me. And I don't mind saying that because it is what it is.
