My brain feels like it’s been wrung out but in a good way. I’m questioning so many things. I think my favorite of the stories was the titular one (Diary of a Murderer). “Missing Child” comes next.

I really found the explorations of family incredibly fascinating and also the characters’ relationships to one another. Kim constantly drives the readers and the characters to dig into these familial relationships and question further.

It was really fascinating to see the New York publishing trade in early America through these printers and publishers! As someone interested in entering the publishing industry, it was very cool to see its roots.
