In the Shadow of the Mountain: A Memoir of Courage by Silvia Vasquez-Lavado

3.0

Parts of this were really beautiful, but I found myself repeatedly jarred out of enjoying Vasquez-Lavado's reflections by the casual biphobia and frankly weird framing of her nonbinary mountaineering mentee's pronouns/experiences. Expected more thoughtful writing from a queer author!
