Finished reading: Shrapnel Maps by Philip Metres 📚. This will, I am sure, be an unpopular opinion, but, as much as I agree with Metres on just about everything this book has to say, I was rarely moved by it in the way I expected to be, based on what I’d head about it. Nor did I feel substantively engaged or challenged in an intellectual way. Given the subject matter–Israel/Palestine–and given my own thoughts about the subject, some of which I’ve blogged about, I should write more at some point to try to figure out why my response to the book was so tepid.
