re-reading Joan Didion for the first time in my life
The Topeka School by Ben Lerner
a painfully light read; an utterly pointless book
As We Have Always Done by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson
powerful academic text on the impossibility of decolonisation within capitalistic structures
Seven Fallen Feathers by Tanya Talaga
powerful stuff on racism, colonialism and botched governmental attempts to move on
Four Repeater Books (two I recommend)
two excellent books, two not excellent books
