Tar Baby by Toni Morrison

I liked this much less than other books by her. it had its moments (I liked the soldier ant metaphor), but it felt sprawling in an unfocused way, where the sum was less than the parts. I think the fact that the principle characters were so deeply unsympathetic also made it a more difficult read. I was left feeling like things were unresolved, and I have no idea what any of this meant. I think it would have been better if there were more focus on the insects.
