Worthy investment of time

Revisado: 06-22-23

Overall, I very much like this book. The middle third, I found, was a little bogged down with discussion of Spanish versus English usage. It picked up afterwards, however. I do wish that Rodriguez would have spent more time on the pleasure of learning. The way he paints his story is one almost strictly of external validation, but it is hard to imagine that someone would put in so, so many hours reading, simply so that someone else could acknowledge his effort. And it seems more implausible that someone would go to the effort of getting a PhD in renaissance literature only in order to receive accolades of others. There are many other prestigious professions for him to go into that would not require nearly as much thought and reflection. I wish you spoke more about that. That said, I appreciated his nuanced perspective on affirmative action. I wish they were more about his experience as a gay man but I guess I will have to read Late Victorians for that. The narrator did a very good job.
