kiramke's review
3.0
This book is beautifully written, truthful and incisive and sharply observed, and there's a little dose of hopefulness to round it out. It's really very good, and so I don't mean it as an insult when I say I found it very hard to read. This is my city on paper, everything I see and try to deal with every day. I would read a page or two and find myself cringing so much that my face hurt, and I'd put the book down and try to untense. But I continued on to the next two pages, and that's out of appreciation for the author's work and for the stories of this city.
