The Removes
by Tatjana Soli
DID NOT FINISH: 2%
I found the first chapter to be racist so I'll stop here.. Soli argues this is an extensively researched narrative that subverts the harmful "wild west" stereotype, but I totally disagree. It's clear from the first chapter that her research was done only in white libraries.
"On the heels of centuries of overwrought racist captivity narratives, why center a large part of a novel on a white woman taken captive and raped repeatedly? What does a writer like Soli owe, if anything, to the general balance of history?" -Sophie Haigney, SFGATE
