\n Sociopath: A Memoir<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n by Patric Gagne<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n Thank you, Dr. Gagne, for allowing me into the living room of your mind. I need this reminder that none of us is completely good or evil. The earlier in kids’ lives we recognize that, the better. Superimposing ideas of how people should ...\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Olive, Again<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n by Elizabeth Strout<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n What makes Olive so lovable? To my mind, because never before have I read stories of an elderly crotchety woman who\'s simply human, not a monster by any means.\n\nStrout shows us again and yes, "Olive, Again," that we\'re all fragile and st...\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n by Deesha Philyaw<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n A week later, I\'m still reeling by how deftly Deesha traverses our weird, weird selves, in ways that anyone with a skin color and a beating heart can relate to. The church ladies who populate her short stories are neither good nor bad — ...\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n High-Risk Homosexual<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n by Edgar Gomez<\/a>\n <\/div>\n
\n Edgar’s autobiographical essays demonstrate how essential each of our voices are, no matter who we are. His writing is so courageous, funny, and touching, that I pity anyone who can’t relate to his observations about how complex individu...\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
