Hey Spaces sleepers (10): Go Off, I guess.

  I was reading How to Read Now by Elaine
 Castillo (who wrote one of my 
favorite
 novels I read last year, America is Not 
the Heart), and she 
dropped the funniest 
line that I just didn't expect in a book
 of essays 
"I am impossible, not to others,
 but myself sounds like the exact kind 
of
 edgelord narcissism that dudes who hit 
their girlfriends and kill 
animals used
 to justify their mysterious grimdark ways,
 but go off, I 
guess" (46). See, I was
 struck by how casual that sentiment was,
 as 
though I would have read it here or
 on a tweet or on Cohost. It made me 
chuckle
 a bit from the nonchalance of the statement
 for that reason. I 
enjoy this book quite
 a bit because of the humor (although I had
 just 
started it last week after the completion
 of Kitchen) so I would 
recommend it, I guess. 
I would also recommend her novel  America 
is Not 
the Heart for it's interesting 
writing also the protagonist is bisexual 

(if not a lesbian) so honestly would 
just read it for pride month.
