A brilliantly controlled examination of the internalized experience of American slavery that discards the usual “black and white” boundaries in exchange for a complex, perverse physical and emotional landscape. Detailed enough to transport you to a time long-forgotten and resonant enough to remind you that its legacy haunts us even now. Plus, it’s a total page-turner! I couldn’t put it down!

Perfectly combines the essentially moribund state of humankind with humans' inexhaustible will to survive. A haunting, sad, scary and also stunningly beautiful, nearly flawless book.
