3.5/5
I really liked this one. There are three different stories and characters we follow and I like how they’re so different. I also like the interweaving of the poetry and the photographs, it does an effective job at immersing me in the story. I will say that I wish there was a bit more time spent on the dubious morality on the pictures taken of the Native Americans, but I did appreciate how the focus was mostly on identity and the intimacy (pun intended) of the photographs and the circumstances concerning the photographs and of the author’s life, too.
That’s all I have to say on this one. I procrastinated reading this for class so I read it in 4 and a half hours straight
