I am Radar by Reif Larsen is a character study of a black man born to white parents. This book was very slow and hard for me to read, I have to be upfront about that. The book is written beautifully and Reif Larsen is a terrific writer, but I just couldn't get into this… Continue reading #BookReview I Am Radar by Reif Larsen
