This book feels important. Don't expect to feel good about yourself when you finish. This book asks us to interrogate how we participate in empire and where and how we use our attention. I found it incredibly written with powerful things to say about our world as we're living in it, the stories of the past we tell ourselves, and what that history says about how this moment will be remembered.

So I found this book on vacation in Sylva, NC at City Lights bookstore. This was in their local room. A local author, a local small press. These things may have influenced my rating a little bit, but this book was a page turner. I think it could have been longer and more flushed out, but it was a great little thriller with a slice of life from a specific place that was neither romanticized or made into tragedy porn.

Conceptually, this book was great. It was a short, easy read. I quite enjoyed it.
