garrett reviewed Intimacies by Katie Kitamura
Review of 'Intimacies' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Decided to go for it based on Obama's Summer Reading List. Reviews spoke about the great tension among revelations of power. That's a bit misleading. There's a really nice nuanced view of the way that power, economics, and gender impact the way we view the world and the "truth" as we perceive it. Even from my perch, I found this book to capture a bit of the chaos that you feel when wedged between situations or people.
If you look to the text for the surface level content, you're likely to be left wanting. If you are happy with something a bit more cerebral that might scratch on some of the anxieties that we feel regarding home, family, and sense of self, it can be a really nice and quick read.
