A review by blauerbuchling
Black Deutschland by Darryl Pinckney

3.0

I found it very hard to be taken with this novel. There are some quite beautiful moments in terms of expression and language and I enjoyed these moments very much. However, I couldn’t get warm with the protagonist, which is basically a death sentence for a character-driven novel like this one. Additionally, the side characters didn’t give me much either and I had the feeling that the novel sometimes is deliberately vague just for the sake of it.
