the Origins of Our Discontents
Sep 24, 2020blcwrites rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
I know that I will be in a tiny minority but after The Warmth of Other Suns I found this book disappointing and at times irritating. It's not about the subject matter which seems to be something of a shocker or new info for the major reviewers. Really? Unless you have your eyes and mind closed to the reality of this country - origin stories and currently - she put it all together well but would prefer The End of the Myth. What I find irritating is what is evidently the "thing" now - run text in pages of italics. And never refer to specific people - early on with Trump and Clinton by name. As I said in the beginning, I gave The Warmth as a gift to friends on several occasions - black and white friends - and couldn't wait for this one. Great information, all pulled together, but missing her high mark.
