"I like how Hilton Als deals with issues of gender in this book. It made me pause and think numerous times while I was reading. I am constantly thinking about these themes especially in the culinary world where women are really becoming more and more empowered and important to the industry."

"One of the most beautifully told family sagas in world literature. Exploring gender identity, ethnic identity, American dream, immigrants, family memories and collective myths… but to me this is primarily a novel about belonging—how we fail but still somehow find the hope and the will to continue to try to belong."

A little too Cosmo-esque for my taste what with it being about 85% gender essentialist crap. (But I really wasn't expecting much more. I watch the show.)

The other 15% is about empowering yourself, which wasn't that bad! I could have done more with this than. "Manipulating dudes is an important thing", y'know?
