The Office of Historical Corrections
Danielle Evans · 2020
History, race, and American lies. Evans writes with surgical clarity about the stories a country tells itself.
The case against
Evans builds her stories around theses, and you can feel the scaffolding: each setup (the Confederate-flag bikini, the federal agency for correcting history) arrives pre-loaded with its discourse. The shorter pieces read like warm-ups for the title novella, which is the only one given room to surprise itself. Sharp throughout; schematic more often than it should be.
