can’t describe my request any better than this. sorrry if it’s too vague. books that dismantle your liberal understanding of the world. can be a historical work of fiction, doesn’t really matter. just something that’ll leave a mark on you ig

      Had pretty strong issues with it on a first read. It felt like there was far too many location specific plot points with characters needing to align themselves just so (to the point it almost felt slapstick).

      That said, I just found my copy over the holidays and plan to give it another shot

        Yep… I read it when I was 17 and I was like woaaahhhhh, and then I re read it recently and had to accept Saunders is a giant lib

        it was quite big for me in understanding just how bullshit history can be though, when Saunders compares the different accounts and all that
