A review by stevenwatts
A Handbook of Disappointed Fate by Anne Boyer

5.0

"I think of how this is a city that once had the most meaningful border any city could have--that between freedom and slavery--and of what exists now in Kansas City: What borders, what traversals and reversals, could and must most urgently occur." There are worse ways to frame a class on Missouri writers, even if Boyer is maybe from Kansas no one tell my boss.
