katharina90's review against another edition
5.0
The content is sometimes difficult to stomach, as one would expect, but the lyrical writing kept me glued to this book.
The essays are tied together by an interesting assortment of thematic and stylistic threads, incl. gun violence, birds, the importance of language, and the oft-repeated phrase "in this, our America".
"It’s okay, I’ve learned, to love the things that make you, even if they also are the things that unmake you."
