Review of 'White Girls' on 'GoodReads'

4 stars

Fairly stunning collection of some short and not-so-short pieces that, for the most part, defy genre. New (to me) takes on intersectionality, the notion of "theory" falling away as Als explores real lives--his own among them--in a way that is direct, but never cavalier. His narrators' expressions of everything from disgust to joy in discussing their subjects' histories outline a deep reverence for humanity.
