at its worst when trying very hard to be annie dillard. at its best when journalism adjacent. i felt like most of these essays just… weren’t new ideas and had little to say. eh.

Everyone should read this book, especially those who aren’t from the Midwest. I saw myself on every page of this book. The comparison between life and the land, the telling of generational trauma and the acknowledgment of what it’s like to be a woman who isn’t inherently feminine in the Midwest.
Through life stories and tales of the land Faliveno calls home, the reader goes through a journey of self reflection on what it means to be a woman. It’s perfectly detailed, with just enough ambiguity.

Not my mood at the moment, but I may well try it again some other time.

I am also from a small town in the US. I am also queer.
I have never related to anything less.
