The novel critiques the idea of the memoir as a form of truth-telling and problematizes history and narrative itself, as possible modes of truth. It contains various “short histories” and literary devices that are flagrantly inaccurate or misguided, all in a way that underscores the constructiveness of the human condition, as well as humanity's collective racist tendencies.
