Okay, bit the bullet and started a February thread. It’s at this location: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21469695#post21469695](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=21469695#post21469695). Of course, now that I’ve opened this thread to tout that one, this thread will temporarily appear above that one, but whatcha gonna do? Post away. ---

Absolutely beautiful language, marred principally by the protagonist’s casual, and historically accurate, racism, that comes across as just assumed by the author. I know you gotta read people within context, but the amount of n-words crapped around the book were more than a little distracting. But if you can set that aside, what a gorgeous bit of prose, with some really compelling characters. I agree, that protagonist is COMPLETELY irredeemable.
