A review by bibliokyra
Colored Television by Danzy Senna

4.0

COLORED TELEVISION was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and I’m happy to report that I loved it! The story follows Jane, a writer struggling to finish her next novel while house-sitting for a wealthy producer friend in LA. Jane desperately wants to give her children the stable life she never had growing up so when things with her novel don’t work out, she turns to TV writing. Infused with dark humor and profound insights, Senna’s latest tackles themes of mixed-race identity, artistic integrity, motherhood, marriage, class, politics, and the dark realities of Hollywood. This was a thrilling, sharp, and extremely thought-provoking read.
