Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency of Protest by Nate Powell

3.0

This book is both depressing and hopeful. It is interesting to read about a parent's experiences in the year 2020 and other times, especially in the ways it mirrors and differs from my own. I found the section on the evolution of current iconography in the U.S. to be particularly informative. The last chapter is the one I related to the most, with its description of "the myth of the progressive college town 'bubble' " and how "the college down IS America-in-Microcosm." Having lived in multiple college towns, this resonated with me. As usual, Powell's art is impactful.
