empfehlung empfehlung, ich möchte dieses buch an alle meine freund*innen und familienmitglieder verleihen. kim schafft es, so vielen schwierigen themen wie körperwahrnehmung, generationenübergreifendes trauma, gender, beziehungen so nahe zu kommen. es war emotional anstrengend aber ich habs trotzdem flüssig weggelesen weil meiner meinung nach so gut geschrieben, überraschend, in kein genre passend.

Hey, I'm normal and also comparatively rare! xD

@tofuwabohu I mean it seemed to convince the nobel committee so give it a try, it's not a bad book. maybe 2 stars was too harsh... :D

Neither the plot nor the characters were interesting to me. The writing is nice and I liked some of the Blake quotes but I'm sure I won't remember this book a year from now.

@mischk daran musste ich heute erst wieder denken

Deciding when the anthropocene started is something that social theorists mulled over for many years before eventually deciding on the early 1600s. Kathryn Yusoff offers a new way to consider this beginning, by considering beginnings more deeply. Each chapter proffers another start-point for colonial violence, and each time it is both valid and invalid. The book draws from different theorists, prominently Moten and Harney, in a well considered and short study of colonial violence toward nonwhite people. Brilliantly written, compelling, and very sad.

dayum page 55 and I'm already crying I can't even tell why but it hurts :(
