Super interesting book, really respectful and in-depth without that air of “this is all there is to say on the matter” that can be sort of dangerous with this kind of pop-nonfiction, and I really like Doughty's “Youtube Video Essay” voice as part of the audiobook narration, so I really vibed. If you don't vibe with that voice or the sort of humor that comes from that side of youtube, you may not like this, but I fuck with this heavy. Fascinating stuff and as a Mexican I was surprised the depth and respect of the discussion about our rituals, and really gave me a lot to reflect on as a Chicana who hasn't practiced Dia De Los Muertos since I came to the States when I was under 10.
