A review by shallihavemydwarf
Black Deutschland by Darryl Pinckney

2.0

To be fair, the quality of the writing is better than a 2, but I did not like the book. It reminded me of On the Road, and while this one was better, I still found it tedious and meandering (and while I realize that was the point, that doesn't necessarily make it a good or worthwhile point). I didn't find anything compelling here; drugs, dissatisfaction and name-dropping as a shorthand for intellectualism. Books don't have to have plots, but they should have something.
