holy shit!!! holy fucking shit!!! i was tugging along, unimpressed, and then i got to act vi and was completely blown away. what a joy to read with biting commentary & delightful ambiguity. i started reading with a distaste for the screenplay formatting but it caught on so quickly. i think some of the anti-Blackness/comparisons of asian oppression to Black oppression was lackluster, misplaced, and in bad taste for me, but overall, a lovely read
