A review by tracithomas
Bloodbath Nation by Paul Auster

2.0

I liked the writing and the photos, but wasn't sure why Auster felt compelled to write this book. People have written far more compellingly about this topic and I'm not sue we needed his voice on this issue. I also found some of his opinions to be mildly offensive (like suggesting that Black people were better in many ways under slavery than Jim Crow because they were at least considered and treated as valuable property). I just wasn't moved by his opinions and felt his insight was lacking and more a repeat of what other people have already been saying about gun violence in America.
