A random advanced proof copy
that my mom managed to find at the Blackheath Amnesty International book sale.
Go mum!
Long chunks of this Kunzru
novel seemed to be written by, erm, Paul Auster. Seriously, the feeling of
alienation was very much the same. Despite the mixed reviews it seems to be
receiving, I quite enjoyed White Tears,
probably because it deals with white kids who try to adopt black culture with,
in their own way, profound respect and self-criticism.
But in all honesty the gory
end is just a bit much, and I could have done without the Charlie Shaw takeover
– just a bit too (dark) magical for me…
