Jane: A Murder by Maggie Nelson

4.0

3.5 stars. A very innovative structure for a sort of memoir meets narrative nonfiction—a mix of diary entries, poetry, and excerpts from the murder case documents. This lent it a meditative quality, but at times the abstractness made it feel…empty? Maybe that’s too harsh, but this is very much about the feeling and not the fact, and I wanted more of the latter (even though that was likely not Nelson’s point with this).
