Status Updates From When Crickets Cry

I still have no idea what is happening in this book. The author's mind wanders a lot. I am not sure what the focus is. The small instances of bravado of men wanting to be complimented and forced heroism are speaking on egalitarian patrichy that I struggle with. And just like most men , I still have no idea what he is talking about.

Something sounded super off with this book. From the tone, sentence structure, paragraph arrangement. Just something I couldn't put my finger on. I just turned back the cover to read the author's name then turned to my bookshelf. Indeed I have only read from one other male author.
