How to Tell When We Will Die: On Pain, Disability, and Doom by Johanna Hedva

dark funny informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

A unique perspective with some really good bits, but not enough of a cohesive whole for me. Looking at disability through the lens of kink, the Asian-American experience, and astrology (among many other things) was quite interesting and made for an engaging read that I found myself stewing on between listens. I wished there was a bit more connection between essays and did find it repetitive and long in the middle. Nonetheless, this was a worthwhile read that inspired a ton of introspection and thinking about things in new ways, which is always the mark of a compelling book for me!
