A lot of really clever and fun stuff throughout, very good last 150 pages. But it takes a while to get to that last 150 pages, and there is a LOT about post-graduate studies that tends towards repetition - your taste for reading about academia might dictate how satisfying you find Katabasis.

Interesting facsimile edition of a collection originally assembled by Weegee himself - not an art book as I had assumed. Includes a section of Weegee's technical and professional advice to aspiring photographers, which was really cool.

A series of sharp, short essays that detail the author's personal and political evolution on subjects from disability to climate change to work; a radical manifesto broken into facets, each essay is powerful, moving beautifully from the personal to the universal.

A fast-moving and enjoyable second outing with these characters, a bit smoother than the first book.

A very detail-oriented look at menstruation, scientifically and culturally - the introduction and conclusion are terrific and I kind of wish the very science-focused body of the work was a bit more ambitious at making broad stroke arguments. There are large sections where I wish conclusions were stated more clearly, if only because I am not smart enough to follow the science!
