Book review – Recitatif

Wow, this was an incredible short story. I went in blind, skipping the introduction (literally long than the short story itself). I was confused by who was who, as race kept coming up, but I thought throughout multiple parts it was Twyla, then Roberta, then I read the summary and realized that was the whole point.

Well done, this is a great short story to read! Though after looking at the introduction, I would read this after reading the book, since it picks about the story. Read the story first.

I will be thinking of this one a lot I imagine!! I highly recommend this short story.
