Colorfully, referentially, and intellectually dynamic ... A glossy-paged, art exhibition catalog-worthy book ... Though the narrative’s ending verges on negative abstraction, Rankine clearly demands that we confront our failure to prioritize Gazans and reckon the massive resultant losses, personal, ethical, and human alike.
Innovative, genre-defying ... While Rankine’s lyrical prose leaves readers with more questions than answers, she demonstrates how a complicated friendship can force self-reflection and change. It’s a thought-provoking response to a broken world.
