Erasure: A Novel | Percival Everett
post image

I got to a good start on #JumpStartSummer by not being able to sleep last night 🙄 and finishing Erasure. (Full disclosure: I skipped most of the story-within-a-story, and feel completely justified. 😂)

This was so much more than its main plot description... bitter and satiric yes, but also very quietly human and deeply sad.

A satirical story of racism. I enjoyed the parts about his family and himself. Parts were not really of any interest. 4/5⭐️

Excellent. Some parts I was not sure about….but I loved the part about his family and himself.

Sparklemn That‘s exactly how I felt. The story he wrote in the book didn‘t hold my interest. 2w
Yenya1954 Exactly how I felt, also. 1w

1. After I was reading my Kindle in bed and dropped it on my nose when I fell asleep, I mostly stick to reading while sitting!

2. I‘m just starting this today, so I‘ll let you know…

TheSpineView I just commented on another post about how my Dad did that. It was so funny to find him sleeping with a book over his face. 2w
mcctrish Are you even a reader if your book/kindle/kobo doesn‘t fall on your face ? 2w
Susanita @mcctrish Good point! 2w

1. Sitting…I have a reading chair.
2. I‘m reading the tagged book. Initial thoughts? It‘s so well written. I am going to enjoy this one.

Not to say I didn‘t like the book (and Everett is one of my favorite authors), but this is one of those rare cases where I may have liked the movie more. 😱 (“American Fiction”)

Tamra That‘s funny, I had the opposite experience! 😄 2w
Readerann @Tamra I can appreciate that. I did like both! 2w
