Adored. Loved.
Everything I crave in queer fiction.
Quiet, beautiful, full of history and memory, complicated characters.
Love.

Could not get into this at all.
Did not get me in the heart at all.
Didn't love the audiobook narrator. Wasn't in the mood?

Wow, this was so boring, I literally finished it a few hours ago and can't remember a thing about it. Just not my scene.

Loved the mix of styles and all the different kinds of intimacy explored!

I have been reading so much Mary Oliver this year, and this collection just wrecked me for some reason.

I just read three books of Carl Phillips essays basically in a row. This is my second favorite.

Why have I not heard of this theatrical lesbian?
This is an amazing play about Eva Le Gallienne, a queer writer, director, and producer, who founded the Civic Repertory Theater in NYC in the 1920s with the dream of brining theater to the people. Also she had so many affairs. Incredible production. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous. So tender, so beautifully structured.

Very very good. It was good all the way through but the last essay took it to another level.

This did not work for me at all.
