White Tears
by Hari Kunzru
Oh boy, where should I start? This one was like an acid trip - it had a slower start and I found myself a little impatient at the beginning but once it took off, it flew. The changing perspectives took a while to get used to and it required attention from the reader, but it was executed so well, especially towards the end of the book! There were some genuinely unsettling and thrilling scenes (coupled with reading the book past midnight and listening to the playlist Kunzru himself compiled).
Kunzru addresses the exploitation and violence that Black people face, at a point the tensions within the book reaches a high that sustains itself till the end. The book is by no means an easy read, but it was worth every page and acid trip it dragged me into.
