Penpal

Disappointed prose and an interesting structure based on the origin of the story in Reddit, that build in a cliffhanger ending at the end of each chapter, but overall just an ok experience

A History Of My Brief Body
by Billy-ray Belcourt

View in Library Catalog



This felt like I was reading Billy's beautifully written diary. His thoughts on his existence and the way he moves through the world is soft and strong, brown and quiet and his essays provide the reader a glimpse of this experience through the words of a pet and his wife list of references. This is astounding.

I’d read Akwaeke’s grocery list. I knew from past books that they are an incredible writer, but this memoir went above and beyond in vulnerability and language.

I loved it. The three main characters Annie, Retta and Gertrude who I feel suffered the most. She had four daughters who she was raising in abusive shack. I was forgive me but happy she killed her husband Alvin. Retta loves her hubby Odell and is a good wife and fried to the other ladies she lost her only child. But she is very protective odf the girls. Annie is married to Edwi. Cole whom we found out is a child molester and get what's coming to him. They have five children one died hang himself sue to his father actions. Poor Lonnie has a struttering. The girl left home when they càme of age and never looked back. I hated the fact Annie tried to kill herself. After she realizes what her husband has done. I live that Gertrude was rewarded in the end for all she went thru. And I like that Annie make peace with her daughters even of her grandbabies call her aunt instead of grandma.

I didn’t know that I needed a crafting, cosplay love story in my life until I picked this up. Ryan created just as vivid of a world as he did in Reverie.

The book had a good idea and started off strong in its depiction of a figure from history but as it progressed it seemed rushed even the ending.
