mastercabs 's review for:

Oroonoko by Aphra Behn
2.0

Between having been written by one of the first female authors and having one of the first cross-racial writer/protagonist duos, I can see why this story has been canonized. It's an important piece, to be sure.

However, as a story, it's abysmal. If I'm going subject myself to seventeenth century English, I need a better reason than this.
