An experimental first novel of poem-like compression, Annotations
has a great deal to say about growing up Black in St. Louis.
Reminiscent of Jean Toomer's Cane, the book is in part a meditation
on African-American autobiography. Keene explores questions of
identity from many angles - from race to social class to sexuality
(gay and straight). Employing all manner of textual play and
rhythmic and rhetorical maneuvers, he (re)creates his life story as
a jazz fugue-in-words.
