a delightful easy going feel good romp about a young orphan girl in the great depression; notable themes include gender ambiguity and an atypical relationship (a healthy friendship between a mid thirties dude and a 9 year old girl).
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
