What’s the rewrite? What if Vlad was born female? As Lada? These books are basically a retelling of the story of Vlad the Impaler. There’s no magic or anything, but it’s more of a rewrite of history.

Hokeah’s characters are drawn with such precision and pathos one can forgive some narrators’ meandering (and at times, repetitive) loquacity. Though officially billed as a novel, the narrative structure feels reminiscent of books that blur the line between novel and story collection, like “Olive Kitteridge” and “A Visit From the Goon Squad.” The result is a kaleidoscopic bildungsroman set against the backdrop of rural Oklahoma.
