Sassy Planet: A Queer Guide to 40 Cities, Big and Small
Harish Bandari, David Dodge, Nick Schiarizzi
informative
medium-paced
This is a stunning book, kinda reads like a long literary magazine as well which is unique. I think this book is mildly mis-marketed. It skews towards nightlife/bar recommendations, with a handful of restaurants and local sights, but that’s about it. I think it’s important for queer travel books to recommend things other than spaces centered around alcohol/drugs.

Really sad but real story. Ain't no hate like Christian love. I'll say I wouldn't really consider this a graphic novel, don't think the images added too much.

Mixed feelings, but generally positive. The last third of the book is where the author’s writing really shines.

Not really understanding the hate for this one! It felt like a peak into a life well documented, a life with flaws and heart. Life ain't pretty all the time.
