    An Hallucinogenic journey into the Great American Sin
  

*by E***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020*

Hari Kunzru's "Gods Without Men" is a fabulous book similar in conception to David Mitchell's "Cloud Atlas" offering a sublime insight into the American psyche. "White Tears" is a much more difficult book, but the insight into the un-atoned for sin of American's treatment of African-Americans is both brilliant and profoundly harrowing. What begins as a straightforward story of a star-crossed friendship between two young white men fascinated with sound recordings slowly devolves into an hallucinogenic nightmare of Jim Crow abuse of the recently "freed" African Americans.  This at times, seemingly incoherent rendering by Kunzru is so much more powerful in impact than a straight rendering of the history of that time could be. One might be tempted to howl as the realization of what remains unredeemed by this country seeps into one's consciousness. Much like Adam Haslett's "Union Atlantic," gaining the insight into the brutality that infects the soul of this country is not a joyful experience. But the quality of the writing and the brilliance in how the author turns your mind around is breath taking. But it is not for the faint of heart.

I picked this up after listening to Fangirl Happy Hour and the host freaking out over it and I was so excited to read it. You think with the name and descriptions about it that the book is all about culture appropriation and white people stealing work from black artist. I will say to an extent it is about that but really it's an insane ghost story. I don't care for descending into chaos stories, I like knowing what's going on and you aren't going to get that with this book. I will say the ending was wild and I wasn't expecting it. Seth the main character who's view point is the whole story was really annoying from the get go and when he starts slipping is when it gets good. Carter, the rich white boy who funds his and Seth's music obsession is addicted to drugs was also annoying. His whole family was horrible to Seth and just in general but there's more to that story. I enjoyed it because the ending I wasn't expecting but the fact I spent the whole middle of the book confused took away some of my enjoyment. I don't like being confused, I'm fine with suspense and mysteries, but I don't like when the characters start to lose their minds and that's what happened. I will say there was good cultural commentary about white people staying in our lanes and the way we ruined people of colors lives for our own gain. It was overall good and I did enjoy the end, and if I liked scary mysteries more it would be something I'd have given more stars probably.

    Gnosis aplenty
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2017*

I can't decide if this book deserves three stars or five, so I went for four. It's not a perfect novel, which isn't to say it isn't great. It reads like water while being complicated on the verge of convoluted. Hari Kunzro has written something extremely complex and thoroughly readable, but something is missing. My biggest issue with the novel is pacing. The beginning of the book is much more generous than the end-- the extreme change that the book goes through in the last 50 pages is extremely intense. The main character Seth is meant to get lost for the reader, but his loss is so total you miss the character and cannot connect with him at all. It's a beautiful, well put together novel. It delves into race relations in the United States but it fails to make any revelations. Black suffering is still ornamental, as much as Kunzro tries to give it a real life and texture. It's not a failure on his part, but I can't help but want more from the book.
