academic_mama 's review for:

The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War by Jeff Sharlet

2.5

challenging dark

Crucial topic. The writing is poetic, vivid, lots of metaphor and things unsaid. The reader needs to make some connections that Sharlat leaves implied. 

This is pretty much my least favorite kind of writing 😬

I was looking for more of a book than a series of essays.
