Evidence of V

I've alluded to my to-be-read pile in past. Today I grabbed a book that's been on it for just a little while, Evidence of V by Sheila O'Connor. I picked it up because it recently won the Minnesota Book Award for Novel & Short Story and the brief description I read sounded intriguing.


It's a slight book in terms of length and verbal density (it can be read in just a few hours), but not in terms of content. I can see why it won the award. I would pair it with it with Colson Whitehead's The Nickel Boys, which I also read not long ago and highly recommend.

So much harm, so beautifully described.
