Beautiful, heartwrenching, necessary - my first exposure to Rankine’s work and I now want to read everything she’s ever written.

Literally just did not have the time to finish for my Modernist and Contemporary Lit class.

This book just wasn’t for me. I had a hard time following along at times due to a lack of punctuation and (what I felt was) rambling. This led to my mind wandering and me having to reread sections multiple times; a few of which I reread and just moved on because I still couldn’t wrap my head around it.
HOWEVER, the parts that were formatted like a typical book were outstanding. I especially enjoyed the chapter about Serena Williams. Having grown up watching Venus and Serena win numerous matches, I’ve never thought about tennis as a “white” sport, but after reading this I had to just sit for a while and think about it because it blew my mind.
While I had a hard time actually reading this book, the fact that I finished it in 3 days attests to the fact that I looked forward to reading more (silently hoping for more chapters like the Serena Williams one).
