dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced

3.0

This has been on my TBR for years and I finally prioritized this read this before the movie came out. 

This was a hard read for a number of reasons: 
1/ The treatment of the Osage was atrocious and appalling 
2/ The book centers the white narrative as both the villains and the saviors and the 
3/ Most of the book lacks context and only fills in relevant elements of centuries of genocide, land grabs, and numerous other atrocities where the author thought they made sense

For me, too much context can be annoying, but in this case it only served to further center the white narrative and I found that frustrating. The story was still interesting and compelling to read, but I will be reading native voices on this topic to understand the complete picture.

This case is completely insane and so so heartbreaking. I think non fiction like this is always at risk of being super dry and boring, but Grann tells the story beautifully.
