This is the best motherhood/divorce memoir I’ve read so far. Now, have I also read a lot of the scholars she cites and love them? Yes… so really it’s just that mashed with personal memoir energy that I love lol but there IS a way to mess that up. This one doesn’t mess it up. Although the r*pe narratives in the later chapter are A Lot.
american psycho for the 60s, basically satirizing all of the conservative fears about sex and gender (last chapter is hilarious) in an incredibly graphic way.
also has some commentary on hollywood and performance.

I don’t like nonfiction written by journalists
I don’t think I’ve quite had a reaction to a book like this.
It was tense and frustrating and then it ends and you want to throw it against the wall in rage— “the unfairness!”—and also weep.
I did burst into tears for like ten minutes.
Good god.
Like what is a utopia/dystopia? (The two-sided coin of both)
What it means to know (experience vs knowledge shared with you) and the nature of humanity—how there are common feelings and knowledges that we inherently know even in a different situation—like love and desire and curiosity.
oh no I’m crying again.

Man the US really meddled huh. Definite bias towards the US in their history, but I felt that this was a good introduction to get me oriented to the broad strokes. Excited for deeper reading in the future.
