A very fun romp through the encyclopedia with the author’s life that year mixed in. I hovered between giving 3 or 4*, but went with 4 because there were quite a few jokes (mildly racist, quite sexist) that didn’t age well. Though it was very queer-affirming! I learned a lot of interesting facts, some of which have already helped my crossword game, in an engaging way.
