I understand why I'm supposed to like this critically-acclaimed-auctioned-for-more-than-half-a-million-bucks book, but increasingly, I question the people who decide what literary works are worthy. I'm tired of stories about white men. I'm tired of white male authors. These stories, including this o...
4 starsThis is one of the rare ones where I race to the finish the first time, just to find out what happens, and then immediately go back and start sections again, just to savor the prose.
