A review by zachari
Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine
4.0
This is a text best read in the context of a seminar or book club. Doubting that I fully understand the implications of its form and the self-reflective, highly interwoven prosaic dance of its content, I hope I will have the opportunity to return to it as some future point and discuss it with others--ideally with others whose lived experience affords a more apt context for approach then my own. In the meantime, I have only to say that I very much admired the authors "yes, and" (as opposed to "yes, but") style, which force me to reanalyze many easily otherwise passively rendered experiences, and which bore a helpful connection to improve, a medium with which I have some degree of connection.
