I'm hooked!! Tomine's characters are pretty daring, even for Japanese-AMERICANS. Sexual insecurities, racial fetishes, using snarky asshole behavior to offset relationship ineptitude... these seem like rather Western pitfalls. But, no! The truth is: love sucks in every country and every culture. Same shit, different time zone.
Haitian Sensation is a title no one man can hold, apparently. In Evan Narcisse's case, he's a professional nerd-for-hire who writes about race and all sorts of pop culture.
