palefiyaw 's review for:
Washington Black
by Esi Edugyan
It’s possible the author was going for a direct foil to the white savior narrative that seems like the usual fare, so that’s something I can applaud in addition to her writing. But ultimately both the story and style are forgettable - the plot is contrived and the plot drives everything so by halfway everything just sags and loses momentum. The characters are not fully realized and only sad mannequins to be wheeled around the globe according to coincidence.
