RaveThe Subtext ReviewDense with street slang and bristling thoughts, the vernacular presses us into smoke-filled kitchens, across collapsing car seats, and against frayed tempers until the tension feels skin-tight ... White gathers reality into a taut bundle and leaves it with us. How we bear its oppressive immediacy becomes part of the act of reading, making All Them Dogs not just observed, but inhabited ... A consuming novel, albeit one that doesn’t seem preoccupied with leaving a lasting wound. Its force lies elsewhere, namely in the precision with which it draws us into its grip, and the unease it leaves once we surface.
