Oroonoko by Aphra Behn

1.0

A solid pile of racist hog crap parading as a 17th century white woman’s idea of the black experience. I can’t fully describe how irritated I was every time the narrator tried to make the reader sympathetic to the title character’s misfortune by reminding you of how “Royal” and other adjectives standing in for European he was, “aside from the color of his skin.” Give me a break.
Read this for the history of the work I guess, but just know that it’s a horribly dramatic piece of garbage.
