PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewMost of the book follows Rankine’s narrator as she reflects on her life ... She tries to make sense of her privileged yet vulnerable status in the world ... There is, however, disappointingly little discussion of the apt artistic metaphor on the cover, a photograph from Autumn Knight’s brilliant performance piece \'La Querelle des Monstres,\' in which Knight and a collaborator are bound into a conjoined sweatsuit. Imagine Rankine, or her narrator, yoked in solidarity to the theorist ... The culminating conversation between the two is so elaborate, involved and painstakingly transcribed that I wondered if it was an act of autofiction. Their dialogue, even more than the nuggets of daily observations and art criticism, is reason enough to read the book.
