Miller describes her father’s atheism as a sort of blissful nihilism, which bothers me. I guess that’s her true experience of him, but I hate the idea that the universe is bleak just because it doesn’t have real-life cartoon characters and magic. Also: Miller definitely writes like an NPR correspondent. It’s giving Sarah Vowell. Not sure I’m a fan of this voice outside of the radio/podcast context.

Audiobook. Even though it’s only 5 hours, I’m willing to bet it’ll get returned before I finish and I’ll have to put it back on hold. Idk, I might give this more time/focus in order to avoid that. So far, the author’s interest in David Starr Jordan calls to mind my own interest in Floyd Schmoe. He even had a memoir called THE DAYS OF A MAN, which is similar in title to Schmoe’s— THE YEARS OF MY DAY.
