A note to fellow queer readers: this book made me feel uncomfortable in a way that only queer lit can. Some scenes felt like the characters were looking me in my eyes and speaking my name. I have rarely felt as much of a kinship with a book as I did with this one, and I'm honestly not sure if that's a good thing.
Regardless, it makes for a good argument in favor of this book and Whitehead's ability as an author. I look forward to reading more from them.
