Spoke 🏳️🌈As far as point of view goes, I think I draw the line when the second-person narrator speaks of herself in third person. Just because we can doesn’t mean we should. #ItIsWoodItIsStone #GabriellaBurnham #SecondpersonNarration #BookChat #bookstodon
Book 29: “Wait” by #GabriellaBurnham.
A novel about issues that doesn’t hit you over the head with them: undocumented workers, “nice” white people and the harm they blithely cause, Nantucket’s tourist economy and the income inequality of the island’s locals. But it’s mainly about two sisters and the eldest’s rich friend.
Another contemporary book that disposes of quotation marks and indenting paragraphs for new speakers. WHY. Enjoyed it nonetheless.
