Ari Santillanes’s Reviews > The Sentence > Status Update

I don’t know why I’ve dragged my heels with this book. Possibly because it is set during the early days of the pandemic, which are not days I am eager to revisit.

But today, Erdrich worked a James McBride book recommendation in to the plot, and the book changed Dissatisfaction’s life (so nicknamed because he is impossible to recommend books to). As a McBride super fan myself, I appreciated this moment.
