I've Had to Think Up a Way to Survive: On Trauma, Persistence, and Dolly Parton

Lynn Melnick
sophia stewartsophia stewart

The author writes with remarkable vulnerability and candor yet ensures that the often-painful memories she relates don’t cloud her critical gaze. She moves gracefully between confessional and analytical registers, her prose both sharp and full of heart.

Ella Baxter
sophia stewartsophia stewart

A sharp, scathing satire of the monstrousness of the contemporary art world... Baxter has an acerbic pen, aided by an ear for dialect--she wields both internet- and therapy-speak, not to mention the willfully opaque language of the art world, to great effect in skewering her target.
