Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong
5.0
"...what I call minor feelings: the radicalized range of emotions that are negative, dysphoric, and therefore untelegenic, built from the sediments of everyday racial experience and the irritant of having one's perception of reality constantly challenged and dismissed."
Part memoir and part cultural criticism, minor feelings is a powerfully insightful books. Cathy Park Hong has a well crafted voice and a interesting insight into US culture. I have quite a few quotes and ideas that I kept having to pause the audio book and pull out a paper copy to write down to ponder later.
I hate that the bar for trans people is in hell, but they are just casually welcomed and considered in this book and for that I am grateful.
