Quinones’s DREAMLAND is giving the changes I’ve seen around this little slice of atrophied heartlandia a deeper, more tragic context. An essential and eye-opening read.

@twweaver It’s been on my list. I own it. But despite my toleration for dark reading, I shrink from dark reading about ordinary people destroying themselves.

Some day (big gulp).

@twweaver I lived right in the middle of that (SE Ohio) for years. He hits the nail on the head. Tragic and painful.

@ReaderJohn It’s worth it, as soon as you can stomach it. Wrenching and revelatory.
