Prose \u0026 Lore Collected Issues 1-5 Reviews
-
When thinking of how I would write this review, I was tempted to use something like the phrase "the quality varies," but that just isn't true. The quality really is exceptionally high, but there are just so many voices and so many stories that one is going to connect with some and some, inevitably, one cannot. The level of emotional weight being lifted here is a bit staggering, a bit overwhelming. It might have been easier to digest in the individual volumes rather than 400 pages all at once.
Of note - there are lots of excess line breaks and other little formatting problems that tend to really bug a person like me, but eventually that all fades into the background of what is being accomplished as the collection moves on.
About 99% of what is collected here would probably fall into the "creative nonfiction" category, but there are a few poems. -
*This collection has issues 1-5, but 1-4 have their own individual books, which I've already read. Issue #5 is the only one without it's own book, which is why I purchased this collection.*
As usual, the stories were great. I am addicted to sex worker literature whether it be in the form of essays or poetry. The lives of these people are so intriguing and educational. Highly recommended all 5. I should also add that 1-3 are available on Kindle as well as paperback, but #4 is only available as a paperback. So I would recommend buying this collection to have them all at once. -
I can't rate books by people I know!!
