A Brief History of Seven Killings

[Keith Davis]

With the gift card my son gave me for Christmas, I bought this book, and have delayed gratification as long as possible. I'm about 50 pages in, and I dig it, but I have one comment, which I reserve the right to back off of or see corrected. He's sometimes writing in patois, which is hip, and which those who speak it seem to be able to adjust according to how much they want you to get it, if my own experience is to be relied upon. Even so, it seem like mon white up de patois to mak im mo ez...I can dig it, it can be unintelligible. Just my observation at an early point. It just seems a little uneven or unauthentic. Maybe his characters actually sound like that...
