The added introduction by Zadie Smith should’ve been added as an afterword instead. With it reading more like a book review than an introduction, it spoiled the plot and premise of the amazing short story from Toni.
If you’re thinking about reading this one with the rerelease, do yourself a favor and read the introduction after the short story.
