Status Updates From We Were the Mulvaneys

I’ve read BLACK WATER, WHERE ARE YOU GOING, and 52% of this book. JCO’s oeuvre posits that men see the world as being all male, invariably: front to back, guy to lady, animal to human,vegetable to mineral; and that the most progressive and understanding the men can hope to become is to eventually, with much dismay & self-loathing, come to the conclusion that everything male, including themselves, should be killed

I wanna say that the popular 2 star goodreads review of this book where the person’s like “um, this isn’t about a horrible event destroying a perfect family? The parents are awful!!!” is a perfect example of the literacy crisis in America, but I think there’s a lot more than illiteracy going on there tbh…

Not a book for someone who wants their messages spoon fed, themes highlighted, morals made clear.

A book about the downfall of wanting to be the main character and author of someone else’s story you happen to be living in.
