Andy reviewed Cane: authoritative text by Jean Toomer
Review of 'Cane' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
An excellent experimentally modernist hybrid text, combining poems, character sketches, and a final narrative. Toomer brings these disconnected pieces together to create a larger history of life in the South underscored by racialized violence.
Another text I read for Erin Edwards' [b:The Modernist Corpse: Posthumanism and the Posthumous|36419761|The Modernist Corpse Posthumanism and the Posthumous|Erin E. Edwards|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1509572109s/36419761.jpg|58116912].
