A review by pinecone_mushroom
The Paragon Hotel by Lyndsay Faye

Did not finish book.

I'm interested in reading about what it was like to be a black person in Portland in that era, written by a black author; this isn't that book. That really big matter aside: there were some details I liked, but often I felt the author's research was showing. The arch dialogue isn't my cup of tea. I'm sure it's a fine book for some people, but I couldn't get into it.
