Title: "I need a friend, respectability, beauty, to be desired."
Review: Usually I mind my own business, but I'm goaded into writing this by the single review now posted here, which misses the point so very completely. I wish I could articulately express in 1000 words or less why this book is important, and how painfully ironic it is that the lone male reviewer is concerned about racism and what Maryse Holder looks like! Maryse was tormented by her perceived lack of beauty, and she was killed for being an uppity woman. But never mind, it is the language and the honesty of this book that is so mindblowing. This is a powerful, uncensored, authentic voice. This is a great book. Its contents prove Maryse Holder was an artist, and its very existance proves she was loved. Read it, if you can find it.
Is the review positive or negative?
