hm.
it was easy to finish.
and difficult to read.
easy: i really like
the pacing, voice,
characterization.
difficult:
1. I... am studying my eye
for desire politics...
this book was useful
in this regard --
the narrator's discussion
of self, Whoopi
("magical negro trope"/fixation
with Whoopi and her body),
and/in relation with every other
person/subject in the book.
2. This person
is really hurting.
p.s.
did not realize
until now that
i wasn't forgetting
her name -- we do
not ever get it!
