daisyskk 's review for:

4.0

I only realized this was a compilation of her notebook excerpts after I read the book. Is this how she journaled? It has threads here and there weaving through the excerpts. It has A start and an end.

There is an air of desolateness and an undercurrent of larger things at play (the same ones as today, racism, politics, we made so little progress). It feels like the author is troubled with unsaid things in her own life as she journeyed through the South and makes observation.

I do like how decentralized it is. Not everything has to have a narrative and a moral of the story.
