A review by zarazuck
John Henry Days by Colson Whitehead

1.0

I don't care if this is an unpopular opinion, but Colson Whitehead writes like he's in love with his own writing, and it's exhausting and irritating to get through. There are no regular sentences--everything is this ridiculous ironic metaphorical exposé, and the good bits get lost in the shuffle. Side note: you're from Brooklyn. Cool. We get it.
