So this book was..... meh but acceptable? Until the methodology section when things just spiral out of control. Goffman's writing about women is absolutely garbage, and her whole lack of examination of whiteness and what her whiteness is doing is just... borderline inexcusable, though apparently it is a disciplinary move. Her narrative writing, however, is really compelling and it's a fast read, so it's got that going for it. But the work Goffman does is just a reiteration of tropes in sociology that really leave much to be desired.
