”Supporting characters only exist to tell us how important Isabel Wilkerson is, how the world needs her work, and her voice. Even people on their deathbeds don’t get to talk about anything except how much this book is going to matter. The constant affirmations of the author’s ego aren’t just dramatically inert, they also overwhelm her ideas, sucking up all the screen time.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 01/25/2024
