Reading this is bringing back so many memories and emotions from reading Huckleberry Finn for the first time in high school. I usually dislike reinterpretations of “classics,” but I genuinely think this book could become a classic in itself.

“You have a notion … of natural liberties. And we all have them by virtue of our being human. But when those liberties are put under societal and cultural pressure they become civil liberties, and those are contingent on hierarchy, and situation — am I close?”

I’m glad this book was released and could serve as my introduction to Everett. Erasure almost killed me, but I’ll get back to it eventually.
