How to Write an Autobiographical Novel: Essays by Alexander Chee

5.0

Dang. I am so thankful Alexander Chee and this book exist. Chee clearly remains an activist for so many people and reasons and manages to do some exemplary work in the worlds of personal emotional labor and empathy and intelligence. Here, the reader (and writer) get answers to the question: "What is even the point?" through a writing around and connecting of the fragments, of an identity continually in the making.
