anakuroma 's review for:

Recitatif by Toni Morrison
4.0

TW: racism, ableism, f-slur, ableist name calling

A book where you, your mind and reactions, are the focus. A great experiment of a short story that'll live with you. The forward by Zadie Smith is absolutly brilliant.

My biggest discomfort was the use of a disabled woman to drive the plot, with her only existing for the sake of the development of the abled characters.
