Oct. 3rd, 2022 11:53 amMy pre-Yom Kippur reading:
People Love Dead Jews by Dara Horn
On the one hand, it's strange it took me this long to get to this book: People have been recommending it to me since it came out two years ago. On the other hand, even though it's a great book and a reading experience I found very satisfying, I got very little out of it. Nearly everything in the book is something I've addressed on this journal, often multiple times. I didn't learn anything from reading it, I didn't deepen my understanding of the world, I just spend the whole book vibing with its beautifully endless waves of angry energy. It was comforting junk food for the Jewish soul.
