2022.Book23 - The Sentence (Erdrich)

 Not very good, maybe for political reasons? Ghost arc was unoriginal -- too "Get Out". Book store characters fairly interchangeable, maybe because they were based on life?

There's so much room for an interesting investigation of identity formation - especially voluntary, conscious identity choice. And the political implications of partially-voluntary ethnic identities! Discourse privileges the involuntary status.

The current-events plots were inessential, as was the goofy loup-garou thing.
