Must read! Great book!

Revisado: 11-08-18

This book is a must read. Alptraum has an incredibly unique perspective on some of the most pressing topics today. I’ve read so much feminist literature that feels like “feminism 101” and I’m tired of it! So, if you are craving nuance, listen to this book right now. With candor and confidence, Alptraum unabashedly dissects the most personal (and sexual) myths underpinning femininity; as a reader, you can be sure that you are in good hands. I do believe that most writers are too skittish to write about such explicit and personal topics. It’s rare to read such a smart take on the lived and felt experiences of sexuality and gender. Alptraum has done extensive research, interviewing a huge selection of the most fascinating contemporary feminist public figures, and I’m so inspired by how she pushes her thesis while being sensitive and respectful of all opinions — even dissenting ones. She handles each of her interviewees with tact and delicacy. Reading this book has taught me so much about the social constructs that make me who I am. Alptraum’s writing has made me feel ever more confident in speaking my “truth”, and — perhaps more importantly — my “lies.”

Baratunde delivers this book so well. There were moments where I laughed so hard that I cried (in public). Please read!

Reading doesn’t do the writing justice

Revisado: 05-10-18

Jim Shepard is understated, nuanced, and smart. In order to get his dark sense of humor, it’s important to read with a certain pace and tone. I stopped listening to the audiobook about a third of the way through and finished it in print. The dialogue moves much faster in print. The reader goes too slowly and misses the punchiness. The book is so damn good.
