Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination by Toni Morrison

4.0

3.5 stars. I read this for a college class and I did enjoy it, I am definitely going to start reading American lit from a “writers”‘viewpoint. She made valid arguments and I 100% see these classic books from a different perspective now. It was good but the language was well above what I can read easily in the 2 days I read it, it’s a text intended for academia and people well versed in lots of American lit (which I am not). If I had read maybe like 10 pages a day and sat with what I had analyzed, I feel like my opinion would be a little different.
