American War: A Novel by Omar El Akkad

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.

i am actually really sad to say i am not finishing this book. i think it is well written and i feel moved and compelled by the language. but i can’t see past the clear disregard of the history of the u.s.’s enslavement of Black people by basing this in a future of a 2nd american civil war between the south and the north and not one mention of slavery of Black people or white people’s interests of maintaining supremacy being a component of the south’s rebellion against the north
