Reading this felt like chaplaincy: unlike most novels or memoirs, there’s no real plot or character development; unlike most nonfiction I read, there’s no explicit argument or analysis. It’s just sort of an endless stream of people’s stories, mostly of trauma, and the author’s attempts to make sense of it all. I think there’s value in that - no sense of a tidy ending - but it makes it a somewhat challenging read.
