This is one of the best memoirs I have ever read, and I don’t know what could be done to top this. Whereas so many memoirs become self indulgent, Valerie Kaur weaves the personal with community and systems. The memoir/manifesto touches on a lot of things but is woven together in a way that is effective and efficient and can bring lasting change for a reader. It’s thought provoking. I highly recommend reading this with someone because there will be so many things that you want to discuss.
