3.0

Would have to read the physical book as this was really hard to follow. I wasn’t expecting so many afterword notes etc etc but actually the interview was very interesting and I wish I paid more attention in the main bit of the book to link the content in the interview more. 
I am intrigued by the narrative premise and there are some really large and nuanced topics in the book that I got when tuning in. Especially the racialised experience of growing up. But the things on the storytelling flitting about were hard to understand for me. I’d give it another go as I think there is some worthy stuff in here.
