His second Pulitzer! What a powerful book. Different in its power from The Underground Railroad, I thought. Much more spare in its detail. The detail was between the lines. I can't quite explain that, but I felt it strongly. He said a lot with few words. The atrocities were alluded to but not described in detail. And the reader was glad!
Definitely worth reading and a real twist in the end.
Highly recommended. Read this right at the time of the George Floyd shooting which made it even more powerful
