I am honored to be skilled at evisceration. That is another word for love.

Little Rot and Another Word for Love sound good. I’ll be putting them on my TBR list. I had the exact opposite reaction than you on Real Americans. I loved it!

I think I am probably in the minority on Real Americans! Roxane Gay agrees with you so I look pretty silly lol

Sometimes I come across books I just can’t get into and everyone else loves. It’s so subjective.

Put “experts in lovingly eviscerating books.” on my resume! In all seriousness, thank you for this thoughtful post, it is weird to try to still keep living while we bear witness to these atrocities, and I hope we keep naming these things together. ❤️ Also, Índigo and his lil’ legs deserve allll the treats.

Just finished Another Word for Love yesterday. WOW. If you’re interested, he was on a podcast episode last year on “Kelly Corrigan Wonders”. The episode is called “Carvell Wallace on Understanding and Acceptance”. He’s brilliant, thoughtful, and so dynamic.

I suspect (and hope!) Another Word for Love is on some end-of-year “Best Of” lists!
