A review by udai
Lost in Summerland by Barrett Swanson

4.0

Yes, I also came upon this book after reading the essay about TikTok mansions which is just right in every aspect.

I read this book on my phone in between lectures at the university. And I must say that the essay about Kafka’s “the hunger artist” gave me chills in a public place.

The writing style is to die for. The way the writer tackles any subject is very profound. And yeah, there was a lot of vocabulary that I didn’t know about.

The fifth star is lost just because I thought that some of the essays were a bit American-specific.

I must say that if I ever write a book of essays, I want it to be just like this book.
