no issue with the book, it’s just been over a month since I’ve last picked it up. I think I need to start over at this point. Taking it off my current reads for now but will return to it

I like the idea of an externalized memory archive that you lay out and let go, but I felt I’d read most of these thoughts and themes before, without much specificity to enrich it. And there’s some repetition in there as well. So in a way I don’t know much more about this person’s story, personally. But nonetheless it’s a mostly interesting and quick read with familial life and afterlife centered in order to preserve it in the experience of diaspora.

Quote from the book about the authors own writing style: “She writes in the same way she got through recess, by creating arbitrary goals, and x uses to move from one place to another, moving in circles, the movement itself an approximation of living, a mimicry of life.”
