I Never Thought of It That Way
by Monica Guzmán
challenging
hopeful
informative
medium-paced
if you don’t have to read this for a class, don’t read it.
i have the feeling that if you include the phrase ‘bravely confronting the political polorization in america’ in your manuscript sales pitch, wham bam slam you’ve got a deal
i hate her type of prose. like damn you think you’re so funny and quirky and real, going on tangents and using the footnotes to make jokes. very reminiscent of how i felt reading ‘hey hun’. she spends a whole line on her d&d character on her authors biography. screams ‘millennial pixie dream girl’
i also do not care for moderates, particularly moderates who reject ‘identity politics’ so aggressively that it wraps around and it feels like they can’t feel attachment to their identity and how it shapes their interactions with the world.
it’s a whole bunch of prattle with the core message of ‘be empathetic and open to different perspectives’ whose point could have been made in like 80 pages tops if you cut out the personal vignettes. and yeah the personal stories are the sell of the book, but god they’re so poorly told that i found myself skipping them.
boring, drawn out, didn’t resonate with me, advice that has been given 1 million times before and doesn’t leave room for complexities in why identity does matter in politics (unlike me, my writing is beyond reproach and my opinions are correct)
