This is a fascinating thought experiment, with some beautifully considered ideas about the ways in which beauty can arise from the ashes of tragedy, about how generational trauma is passed down, and about what it means to be both alone within — and connected to — a community.
I just wish that the ideas landed a bit more viscerally and with more immediacy in the execution of telling the story.
But I love how much the very gifted Rivers Solomon is willing to delve into adventurous, difficult territory in their writing, and I look forward to continuing to follow their work, after being very impressed by their first novel, An Unkindness of Ghosts.
