The Curiosity Memoir: In The Dream House & Know My Name | Book Reviews

[@josmith5992]

How you managed to get so much that was thoughtful and eloquent in such a short review amazes me Alex.

Thank you Jo 💫

This is one of the best reviews you’ve done on this channel. So insightful. Well done.

[@whatpageareyouon]

Ah thank you! Reviews are always something I’m trying to sharpen overtime

I've read neither of these books. I want to read both. But I cant imagine that I would be able to create a clearer or better review of either.

[@haroldniver]

The fact that Miller’s book puts emphasis on the legal process is exactly why I can’t read it. It would make me so unbelievably angry that Chanel and people in similar positions have to go through so much just to have a chance at seeing some sort of justice. It’s mind boggling. I will read Dream House, very soon.

[@whatpageareyouon]

It was indeed very frustrating as I was reading-how Miller managed to convey her frustration both outwardly and inwardly about her own experience was executed so well. I hope you enjoy Dream House!

I'm waiting for the cheap edition of the machado's memoir!

Thanks for this, I'm interested in Know My Name, but none of the reviews I've read/watched so far gave me a sense of the tone or perspective... the voice, I guess. I find myself wondering about "the other side' (often the spouse's POV in marriage memoirs) and always feel a bit invasive when I do that!

I want to read both so bad, can't wait to be done with my exams. Especially "in the dream house" as a lesbian i don't think i ever read anything about abusive relationship between two women

[@whatpageareyouon]

I think this was the first time I’ve read this type of relationship as well, especially nonfiction-as I haven’t read too much featuring same sex relationships either. I hope you enjoy the book!

this is an old video, but there is a fictional abusive lesbian relationship depicted in Girl, Woman, Other

Great reviews!! I have not read Know My Name but have read In the Dream House. I really dug the chapter on queer villainy. Did you go watch/listen to Voices Carry?

[@whatpageareyouon]

Thank you! I watched Voices Carry after reading the chapter on Machado’s description of it. In similar ways, I was impressed how often Machado cited her research in the book to emphasize her conception of the Dream House, like the queer villainy section you mention. It’s her pensiveness that’s just as haunting to me as I was reading her more personal sections that felt more high stakes since she’s accumulated all of this perceptiveness in media. Fascinating!
