I’m not entirely sure I get the book but I loved it. I really loved the ending but again, I’m not sure I interpreted the right way.
mysterious
The mute, androgynous, racially ambiguous narrator (Pew) shows up in a conservative southern town and is taken in by a family that finds them on a church pew. They are passed on from family to family, and each person reveals their inner thoughts and secrets, projecting an identity onto them. Pew has shown up the week of a festival, in which all of the townspeople confess their sins.
This is one of the most interesting pieces I've ever read and brings up questions about how race, gender and religion tie into identity. It provides an outsider's perspective on the American South and its deeply embedded gender roles and racial discrimination.

closer to 3.5. enjoyed this creepy, eerie book but it’s the sort that i think would work better as a film. wish it would be adapted
