commented on Unfortunates by J. K. Chukwu

J. K. Chukwu: Unfortunates (2022, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company)

I’m a few chapters in. It’s pretty horrifying, but in quotidian ways. It’s really interesting to see myself reflected not in the narrator, but in the environment that surrounds her. It feels like a damning, yet valid, indictment.

Sahara’s MH fascinates me. So far only two characters names are shared with the reader. The rest are titles, descriptions, and periodically redactions.
