We Are Not Ourselves by Matthew Thomas

5.0

Thanks for writing this book, Mr. Thomas. It means a lot to me.

For fans of: generational family sagas, Russian novels, European and American modernism, baseball, aesthetics

What do we owe each other, ourselves, our ancestors? How do we grapple with our weaknesses and prejudices? Is there meaning in our lives' focus on aesthetics, on pastimes, on preserving fading cultures?

How can we stop seeing people as the Other? How do we overcome the paralysis of knowing our own fates?
