Life in the City of Dirty Water: A Memoir of Healing by Clayton Thomas-Muller

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

I really wanted to like this but the writing was not for me. The narrative and timeline jumped around so much it was hard to get any sense of the timing of situations. And overall it was just a very long list of “I did this and I met this person and then I did this and then I met that person, etc. etc.” The sections about the author’s upbringing and family were compelling but they were spread out through the book and hard to connect. I think this book has some really important themes but it had too much unexplained political jargon for me.
