The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

Jack Sloop is on page 140 of 341 of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures
This book has proved far funnier, more educational, and challenging to put down than I ever expected some non-fiction on how cultural miscommunications can facilitate medical catastrophe. I recommend

Jack Sloop is 10% done with Down the Drain
It’s phenomenal. Julia has a beautiful way of bringing you into her physical world and the emotions she feels, in a format that feels addictively readable.

Jack Sloop is 50% done with Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
It’s a devastating and fascinating read. Apparently Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by TB patients. With nothing left to lose, Princip, a member of the Black Hand, started WWI.

Jack Sloop is 40% done with The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity
This book sucks, mostly academic debate without any tangible opinions posited. It’s like a Regina George style Burn Book of every historical theory the Davids dislike, with no attempt at a constructive counter-narrative to replace these theories. Fuck you Will for this yawn inducing recommendation.
