White Tears by Hari Kunzru

5.0

---

This is a masterfully written book — but one that is not comfortable to read. It is claustrophobic as you descend into the narrator’s madness. Reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye, though more important. It is ultimately a treatise on race in America and the great sin of racism throughout our country’s history. A good dash of blues music history, too, if that’s your thing.
