Daddy Boy by Emerson Whitney
3.0
I was super stoked to find a book about tornadoes and storm chasing, especially since it is a goal of mine to also go on a tornado tour some day. I appreciated that the book also dealt heavily in gender critique, as it meant I got to read a book about two of my favorite subjects.
Unfortunately the nonlinear writing and lack of clear passage breaks made it very hard to follow the timeline of events. One minute we're in the van chasing a storm, and the next paragraph is suddenly the author as a child.
I also feel very dense because I could not figure out the overall goal of the author in writing this book. I appreciated his analysis on trans identity, masculinity, and sexuality, but it felt like there were multiple stories being told here and none really had a conclusion.
