In the Dream House

medium-paced
It's hard to say I enjoyed this because the content is pretty heavy. But I think it expertly navigates memory and specifically memories of someone you no longer know: how the memories can feel as big and alive as the person themself, and how the good mixes in with the bad. I loved the footnotes and references to queer literature which enhanced the 'story' and its truth.
