i can’t put this book down but the more i read it the more sookie is written like a fanfic.net character. she over-explains in a way even more redundant than most other first-person POVs….. but it’s so bad it’s good 😔

Rereading this for class after some five odd years.

I didn’t notice during my last reading that there’s an interesting yearning and jealousy for shared interiority and memory, even if that interiority and memory is of a shared generational trauma. Primarily through Denver toward Sethe, Beloved, and Paul D.

Another thought is that this is prime gothic horror (and obvs historical fiction)
