This hit me surprisingly hard. This is a very powerful look at the power of micro-aggressions. That said, I'm a little worried that Rankine has already showed all of her cards, and the rest of the book will mostly be variations of this. If that ends up happening, the book will still be good, just not as good as it could've been. But I'm still early in - anything could happen.

I honestly don't have much to say about this, mostly because I don't feel like the right person to talk about it. I feel like my job is more to listen here.

I'm not even sure if I can really describe this. It's mostly things I already knew on some level, but it still hits very hard. And it manages to be poetically interesting, while still being easily understandable and accessible to people who don't read much poetry.

I don't have a whole lot to say, mostly because of the low word-to-page ratio. But this is very good.
