Out of the Sun: On Race and Storytelling by Esi Edugyan
informative
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
It's been a long while since I've read an essay collection, and Esi Edugyan reminded me why I love them so: more often than not, they're books that sit with you and change your understanding of the world (however slight). OUT OF THE SUN delivers on both accounts. Edugyan writes on various nuances of race with great grace, highlighting oft-overlooked narratives and characters of history in the process. Her essay on ghosts is a true winner.
Highly recommend.
