Questo รจ uno di quei libri che necessita di essere letto con calma, dando tempo ad ogni frase, ogni parola tempo per essere assimilata a dovere. Una lettura pesante ma necessaria.

Colson Whitehead is one of those authors who doesn't blow you away while you're looking at the page, but rather once you've closed the book and can't stop thinking about it. There's an unexpected element towards the end that really drops the story into meaningfulness.
