really liked it

Enjoyable read for those privy and maybe even a little intrigued by academias /quirky/ way of obfuscating an individual.

While my only gripe is that the language was jargon heavy, I see the irony about a narrator speaking in academic jargon while stressing over a dissertation, the focal conflict of the story.

It was a quick and relatable read for me and I appreciated how relationships, specifically woman loving woman relationships were highlighted, especially the stressful nature of these relationships in the context of an individual having a vocation claim the same sort of hyper attention and fixation a relationship may take on a person.

Radia “and I have a particular soft spot for women with PhDs. There’s a seductive tenacity radiating off them that says ‘I can isolate myself for ten years in a library to research and write a dissertation, but when I’m done, I’ll be an animal in bed.’� -Doris Anderson, IN HEAT podcast.
