" A strange reading experience, largely because I'm really only a Husker Du fan and didn't know much about Mould's existence beyond that band. As a result, I was rapt through the chapters about HD, but kind of snoozed through the solo-project and Sugar material. Much more interesting to me was the autobiographical searching and the story of Mould's self-discovery not so much as a gay dude but as a non-self-hating gay dude who wanted to be part of a greater gay community after spending most of his life not closeted but just quietly doing his own thing, cohabitating with his boyfriend, and doing indie music. At times he comes across as arrogant and self-congratulatory, though I believe his stories about other people's shittiness, particularly Grant Hart's. He regained my interest toward the end of the book with his stories of going full-bore into celebration of queerness, finding himself in the bear community, and learning to embrace his family of choice. Still, I'd have enjoyed the book much more if it had been mostly about Husker Du-- however, I'm sure he'd rather write about his whole life, rather than the part of his life I'm most interested in. Overall, this is well-written and engaging, and has a bunch of really great anecdotes in it. "
