Worth Listening… with Lower Expectations

Revisado: 10-06-24

An enjoyable listen, well-read. Uneven in some places — too trivial and modern in language. But compelling characters who deserved more thoughtful interior lives. Perhaps I’m missing some depth because I’m not a gamer.

Piercing truths

Revisado: 09-19-24

Much has changed since Audre Lorde’s mastectomy but her description of our inability to address our mortality still rings true.

Compelling Story

Revisado: 09-16-24

This was a perfectly paced inside look on the many factors that led to Jackson’s historic appointment and tenure on the Supreme Court. What a truly extraordinary person, family, education and careful stewarding of a career. Helpful for anyone with high aspirations.

Searing truths, beautifully rendered

Revisado: 09-10-24

Can’t recommend Gay’s introduction or this brilliant reading highly enough. A moving addition to the canon.

The best book I've read on an election since Richard Ben Cramer's "What It Takes."

Not worth it

Revisado: 06-08-17

This was a disappointment. The book lacked the depth and analysis I was expecting for a topic where so much more is available, including a host of living potential interview subjects. There was a notable lack of compassion for why the country was so enamored by the notion of godliness, and scant attention paid to moderating influences. The reading was overly dramatic and distracting. I would skip this and head more toward something by Jeff Sharlet.
