Taft, by Ann Patchett

It's kind of refreshing to read a book with a black male narrator written by an unapologetic white woman. I've never understood that attitude, that you have to share your narrator's voice.

I enjoyed this book a little, but it kind of hung together awkwardly for me, if that makes any sense. A couple of themes, scenes, etc., seemed kind of shoe-horned in, and oddly enough, one of the female characters didn't ring true for me. I guess that proves my point.
