Who Gets Believed?: When the Truth Isn't Enough by Dina Nayeri
challenging
reflective
slow-paced
2.75
This is a lot of food for thought.
The author explores a variety of situations in which a person does or doesn’t believe what’s true, or at least true for someone.
Asylum seekers and the hoops they have to leap through are central to the theme, but there’s also mental illness, physical illness, religion, and more.
I’m not sure there’s an actual point beyond considering why you do or don’t believe someone and the value being believed can have for those doubted.
