BACK OF THE BOOK
Powerful and lyrical essays from a new and noteworthy poet and fiction writer. Morgan Christie’s new book explores current social themes of race, gender inequity, socioeconomic disparities. How do experiences define us when viewed through a Boolean Logic lens, where sums do not always equal their parts? These essays intertwine sport, family, and community and how identities are shaped through lineage and the lessons we take from them.
MY REVIEW
Non-Fiction is not my go to type of book to read however I found myself enjoying the various topics within the book.
My favourite was paper gun because it brought back memories from my childhood. My brother and I were allowed toy guns but many friends weren’t so we used to play in the woods using sticks as guns.
This is a great book to dip into and I found it to be very thought or memory provoking.
