Disappointing. No blinding insights at all. The writing is way more digressive and glancing than what I enjoy, and the author likewise has a vision of personal essays that is more like wandering than what I have written in the genre and intend to in the future. Overall, it doesn't have a coherent argument to make, as it's comprised of individual pieces only very loosely connected together. As I said, disappointing.
