- Had high hopes for this book initially given its (at the time) progressive views on imperialism & colonialism
- It was overall still SUPER racist & the author really put a lot of effort into trying to sound profound
- I think it’s probably a good book to read in terms of literary analysis, but can be difficult to get through because of its harsh themes & general structure
- TONS OF QUEER UNDERTONES
- Tons of blatant racism & sometimes graphic descriptions
- Probably wouldn’t read again for pleasure
Graphic: Violence, Racism, Racial slurs, Murder, Hate crime, Colonisation, Cursing, Death, and Slavery
