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

5.0

challenging dark informative reflective medium-paced

---

For its length, this is an excellent little book. Morrison makes such good points about American literature and whiteness and everything is phrased so well. Some of the sentences in this are artistic masterpieces (unsurprisingly) and yet it is still adds up to make a precise and cutting argument. Also this has a really good proportion of general abstract ideas and specific commentary on texts. If I ever decide to read or reread any of these texts I will definitely be revisiting this. Anyone can read this, and I think everyone should.
