A review by annagoldberg
The Degenerates by J. Albert Mann

DNF for now because this is not a great book to read during a pandemic. I’m also not really sure who this book is written for—if you know anything about the atrocious history of mental healthcare in the US, this is kinda gratuitous, and if you don’t know anything about it, this contains a whole lot of period accurate language that does nobody any good to hear. I don’t know if I’ll pick it back up because I’m not sure there’s much of a story here beyond demonstrating how awful the history of institutionalization or disabled people is/was.
