Rezension:
Part office satire, part thriller with a twist, this is a fresh and original take on race and class in the publishing industry . A satire that uproots the insidious ways race and class merge in office dialogue and politics, and a thriller with echoes of the great science fiction writer Octavia Butler Guardian
