Juniper Fitzgerald wrote a very unique memoir. The formatting was interesting and perfect for the subject matter she was handling. Skipping between diary entries and descriptions of the women she has known from sex work. Fitzgerald does a good job of covering motherhood, sex work, and her complicated relationship with both.

“While we both hoped our outward appearances as fallible women might be pardoned, I know that we are contented, instead, to catalog our sins and be monsters together in the absence of virtue.”

Enjoy me among my ruins is a life confessed. In extracts, we are introduced to truth as a genre. 

A reminder of freedom as situational and how in individual frugality, survival is sustained.

Juniper Fitzgerald in her being platforms cultivation of a collective, with devotion. 

Queerness in action and essence. 

Possibility conceived.

Very moving. A bit experimental, but not so challenging it’s unstomachable. Very dark. Would rate higher, but seeing as how the author wrote out her intentions for the structure of the book at the beginning, I can’t help but compare the actual contents and think it misses the intention set out at the mark by a little. Additionally, it reads almost essay like it it’s constant referral to other sources—books, essays, etc.
