Absolutely hard hitting look at the complex ways trauma changes self perception and in some turns not only self worth but behavior, how those things pass on, and how different people respond to this cascade. Utterly wrenching. Listened to in the author's own voice with followup commentary of inspirations and intent added another layer. Understandable why this has lasted and remains as prevalent today. Even being far out of the black experience myself, the experience of being changed and influenced by cultural and periodical ideals and standards is universally relatable on a broader level, as is fact that history will echo down through the generations. that our actions reverberate and effect others.

Beautiful prose, interesting characters with interesting relationships to each other/the world. The ending fell flat to me; it kinda felt like the end of a twilight zone episode where rod serling explains the moral to you.

Even though it’s nonlinear storytelling was not what I was expecting, the content was just too good to be mad at it
