Topics of Conversation by Miranda Popkey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I wanted to like this book more than I did. Maybe it’s the mindset I’m in — that the whole world is in. I recognized the literary achievement, its uniqueness, it’s value of being interesting. But I had an excruciating time connecting to it and found it lofty and detached. The book quite literally is a series of conversations between women about relationships, kids, careers, violence, sex, identity, power, art – you name it. A lot of it felt self-important. Maybe I’ll read it again someday and love it. But right now, the material just felt unattainable and arrogant.
