"Listen! I will be honest with you, I do not offer the old smooth prizes..."
- Walt Whitman

I review books here on goodreads as a reader, for the most part, and not as a writer. Come follow or friend me on my reviewer's page. if you like. I visit my “Claire Oshetsky” author page so infrequently that originally my plan was to not accept friend requests here but actually that’s ok. I seem to be writing a different sort of review over here so follow me both places if you like.

Re Chouette: You may find yourself asking, Is the baby disabled? Is the baby trans? Is the baby queer? Is the baby autistic? You are entitled to your theories but from my standpoint that baby is an owl.

Re Poor Deer: The first scene is autobiographical except for how it ends.

Re Evil Genius: As I wrote her, I thought Celia was completely normal, given her situation, and that her actions were rational, but maybe that’s just me.
