I've liked Sedgwick before, and the writing, at least in the first half, is well done, but the allegory/didacticism is so heavy handed and overblown and as a white Englishman, it's absolutely not his story to tell. The torture porn of brown bodies in service to a cautionary tale for what could happen to white society if we don't change is a seriously problematic mess. Wish I had read this before the BOB committee chose it so that I could have suggested an alternate title
