Rumaan Alam's 'Entitlement' captures a 2014 New York City summer filled with social unrest, yet one character remains aloof, reflecting deeper issues of race and awareness.
The narrative juxtaposes the lightheartedness of a young woman’s life against the chaotic backdrop of major societal issues, creating a stark contrast that questions her privilege.
Alam's exploration of a main character untouched by the societal crises around her illustrates an intriguing take on modern privilege and the disconnect from pressing realities.
This novel skillfully unearths the complexities of race and class through its protagonist, who appears disengaged from significant events like Michael Brown's death and the Flint crisis.
