It's an indescribable mixture of painful and cathartic to see a story that expresses a similar kind of twisted pain and rage about the world of 2020 and 2021 that I hold in my heart. Delliquanti's writing always has a piercing insight into the darker corners of the human heart, and applying it here to such a complex, tragic, maddening time and place—one the author themself lived through—produces something raw and blistering. I still struggle to communicate what this time felt like, what marks it left on me and my community. This book makes me feel a little less alone in that.
