Welcome to Litsy!

I finished two very different books yesterday, and this was the second one. Over the course of two years, Sharlet travelled and took photos and interviewed people that live on the margins of society. From Skid Row to the LGTBQ community in Russia, Sharlet has an immense amount of respect and empathy for his subjects, letting them speak in their own words. In many ways a sad book, but also important as our society pushes more people to the edge.

A collection of essays that explore the darker side of life. Sharlet photographs and interviews people who exist on the edge of "society". He relates their lives with compassion and empathy. It was dark and sad and I had to take breaks from it, but it was interesting. #Booked2022 #WrittenByAJournalist 2nd book finished for #20in4 Readathon @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage @Andrew65
