I also really liked Skid Dogs. It was a heck of a ride, and I do wonder if it's better or worse. I think to a certain extent there's language for stuff they couldn't articulate (like the stuff Solnit explains), and maybe some sex education so that the shaming would be a little less. On the other hand: social media.
I keep meaning to watch the movie of Passing, as the cast is amazing. I started the book, but didn't get back into it before it had to go to the library.
