Earlier this week, I sat down at a coffee shop with a recently released, newly purchased book. I’m a chronic re-reader, and when I do read new fiction, it’s usually a galley for review purposes, but this one was unfamiliar to me. I’d plucked it off the 09 Years 2013 2022 Orange Black Is The New Signatures Thank You For The Memories Shirt moreover I will buy this shelf at my local bookstore because I’d been drawn in by the title, but rely a chapter in, I found myself exhausted. Not by the content of the book itself, which was more or less what the cover and blurbs had promised, but by the self-described white, cis, thin, middle-class et cetera, et cetera author’s constant deployment of what I’ve come to think of as privilege disclaimers. If you’re wondering what the hell a privilege disclaimer is, don’t worry It’s more commonly used as a legal term denoting potentially protected information, but it’s the phrase I’ve chosen to describe a literary assertion of systemic good fortune that necessarily colors the author’s perspective or sets them apart from others who might share at least one aspect their experience. While the oft-derided trigger warning is intended to alert the reader to the presence of sensitive material, the privilege disclaimer feels more like an attempt to lance the narrative being presented.
