Conner’s Reviews > My Seditious Heart: Collected Non-fiction > Status Update

The fact that I’m not able to vote for this book as the best of 2019 nonfiction in the “Goodread’s Choice Awards” — the result of 2 decades of meticulous research, rendered in prose that is vivid and alive; the first essay took my breath away with its terrifying beauty — is a scandal, and reveals the recipients of these awards as fare of the lowest common denominator. This book is triumphant and brave.
