BUT fails to be deeper than the superficial, the question of class, privilege, and who gets to write about experiences of trauma and suffering
initial feel was that it was a bit ridiculous on how white people are - finding out after that this book incorporates all criticism for Kuang under Athena which is hilarious
But after some reflection and watchjng withcindy's video, the class critique withi publishing and in the Asian community are both valid. This isn't discounting Kuang's talent or ability as a strong writer but layering in the interaectional and nuanced conversation
Graphic: Death, Grief, and Alcohol
Moderate: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Toxic relationship, Violence, Vomit, Toxic friendship, and War
Minor: Suicidal thoughts, Death of parent, and Classism
