Bellocq's Ophelia by Natasha Trethewey

4.0

I read this in about an hour while cooking breakfast, which may imply that it’s slight, but there is this to consider: I picked this up because I remember reading excerpts from it in a Southern Women Writers class in college five years ago, and a conversation in my graduate Southern Lit. class pushed me to seek it out and read the whole thing. So yes, it’s a quick read, but let me tell you, it lingers.
