Excellent, just excellent.

A powerful, moving and darkly funny novel on the history and future of racial violence in the US. One of the best books I've read in 2022.

I had no idea what I was getting into.

I was so pleasantly surprised when the tone finally clicked. I loved it but like so much absurdist satire it's hard to land. Especially with how real life rolled out.
