I think I’m not a fan of oral history; the accounts are inconsistent in quality, there’s too much readjusting to new voices, it suffers from a lack of thesis or unifying vision. So given that, I still thought this was tedious; cherry-picking resulting in a shorter work would have been better. DNFed at 100 pages.
