dllh 's review for:

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

3.0

---

A lot of the book was a bit of a slog for me, sort of vague and presented as if rearing up for a deeper dive that I knew, in such a short book, would not be forthcoming. I really liked the section in which Morrison did a bit of a deeper dive into some of Hemingway's work, and I would have been pleased to read more particulars like what she gave in that section to illustrate the more abstract things she said early in the book.
