Romance in Marseille by Claude McKay
3.0
Romance in Marseille is a quirky and entertaining novel. McKay was ahead of his time! He explores international politics, physical disability, and queer identity. I can see why it took almost ninety years to get published.
Shout out to Penguin for dragging this out of the archives, but parts of the story feel choppy and unfinished. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an enjoyable read. However, I was left feeling unsatisfied. For that reason, I wouldn’t recommend this book.
