A review by tagoreketabkhane31
Ohio by Stephen Markley
4.0
Ohio is a complicated novel, at times a social critique of the small town found across the American Midwest, and the social/cultural dynamics that take place there. It touches upon race, politics, power roles, feminism, sexuality, substance abuse, and more all while placing four characters and their interactions all throughout the course of one day (with a prologue and coda to bookend the stories)
From the rich tapestry of characters, their nuances, and complex narrative, Ohio is indeed one of those great American novels that tells the story of what many believe to experience in the American Midwest. But it also inadvertently raises the question of why these stories shape into these silos of harsh ship, and how the changing of economies, globalization can cause fear in those that have very little power.
