I read An Untamed State in one sitting - I realize that it's absolutely cliche to say 'I couldn't put it down' but from the other reviews I've seen of the book, I can see that I'm not alone in that sentiment. So let this be the year of Roxane Gay: You'll tear through An Untamed State, but ponder it for long after. Roxane Gay's riveting debut, An Untamed State, captivates from its opening sentence and doesn't let go.
It is written at a pace that will match your racing.
An Untamed State is a novel of hope intermingled with fear, a book about possibilities mixed with horror and despair. Once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down. It resists 140-character analysis, but wow. I won't ever forget it.įinished gripping and brilliant novel An Untamed State last night. An Untamed State is breathless, artful, disturbing and original.
