Author's note at the end states he intended to write a book to show that two-spirit indigiqueers are a thing of the present day, far from historical myth, and this book really achieves that goal. It's very freeform, deliberately so - linearity is not a priority of this book. For me, this lack of scaffolding - and what that lack entailed in the reading experience - was the book's biggest weakness; as a reader I wanted to be positioned a bit more clearly in time. Its style means that each chapter feels like its own vignette, which is both the book's greatest achievement and among its pitfalls; as a consequence the book was quite repetitious. But that's just fine; that was the book's project, and it makes it a book that's easy to excerpt. I have every confidence Whitehead knew what he was doing. I enjoyed his essay collection last year and was glad to have picked this up.
