Status Updates From The Last American Road Trip...

I needed a palette cleanser and I saw this in a bookstore in Cleveland this past weekend. I love Sarah Kendzior’s writing even though her subject matter scares the shit out of me.

I fear this might be contributing to a rough reading slump I'm in and might have to dnf for my mental health, lol

So far, this is good in a lot of ways, though some of it is extremely heavy and bleak. I've caught a couple of conspiratorial dogwhistles, which is tough because a lot of the things they point to aren't untrue. Kendzior's tendency to have every anecdote come crashing down in a miserable way makes me hope she's got a really good therapist.
