In re: "The Chairs..."
FUCKING THANK YOU! I needed that word, because as I was reading it, especially that infurating chapter about Toronto zoning, I thought to myself, "who honestly thinks this is provocative stuff? Who hasn't thought about these exact ideas or issues in the exact same way?" I then realized: no one, but a straight white man needs to 'splain it to me again! I do not use the one-star on Goodreads lightly. That book infuriated me. I need a mocktail.
Re Mulgrew
Seriously. I enjoyed the tidbits about Jason's life but it seemed as though the real stories centered around his dad the whole time.
