The language gives the novel The White Boy Shuffle its unique flavor. The language is a combination of the elevated prose Gunnar is accustomed to reading and the vernacular he hears in everyday life. Since the narrator, Gunnar, is a poet, the language is always vivid, evoking images of the unfolding action.
