A review by fleurdelyssa
Go by Kazuki Kaneshiro

2.0

This year I have tried to read books written by people with different life experiences/ethnicities/nationalities than me... and that box was certainly checked with this book. I can certainly say that I've never put myself in the shoes of a Japanese/Korean teenager before. The book introduced me to many of the racial challenges that people face in Japan, I have never been exposed to the racial dynamics in that part of the world and I'm glad to have that door a bit more open. That said I'm glad that it was a short book, the writing was a bit tedious and the narrative was fairly boring (other than the anthropological references).
