My brain is swollen with thought. I took a deep, deep breath when I closed this book. It took me so long to read, it is very very dense. Multiple times a chapter I sat and reflected on what I had read, and I am truly grateful that this book was lovingly recommended to me by other people.
I realize I am fearful and gatekeepy when it comes to loving.
Bell Hooks is such a thoughtful writer, I often got lost and had to double back. There is so much information and i do wish the flow was a little more conversational, though I’m unsure how effective that would be. The narrative is also pretty gendered & there’s a religious undertone, so take with that what you will. I did love this book regardless.
