i found some of the essays more powerful than the others which is normal. liked it overall! i didn't really
enjoy the one about like the army or something but i think that's more a personal preference. i liked "consciousness razing" and "lost in summerland" the most. i think sometimes it annoyed me that swanson assumes most other people are total morons who don't think internally as much as he does? i think he's very smart and very self-aware, but also anxious and neurotic in the way that men have anxiety and focus on themselves too much. i think he tends to assume that others don't have as complex internal lives as he does, sort of a really casual dismissal of others, but maybe other people just don't want to talk to you about their thoughts! in general i think i agree with him on some things and not on other things. that's all
