challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I can't even describe what I loved about this, but it is so clearly a book written with incredible care and curiosity for the subject matter. And although the central thesis is more or less hand delivered to you on a plate by the last short story, it also feels like the author is very much offering you a menu of ideas to pick through and take from as you please.
