Citi

by R.A. Washington

R A Washington's new novel, CITI, simultaneously explodes and expands our notion of gender, race, identity and storytelling itself. Structured in vignettes that are by turn metafictional, narrative and philosophical, that novel achieves a unified and electrifying effect.

in this, absence takes a life. RA Washington writes with a reckless attention. I was rooting for everyone's body.

had this reflection:

[mousing] for RA Washington

history doesn’t repeat itself so much as curse the language it just learned. this is their there. escapist fare for those still fleeing. and I thought my hands were loud. one headset per foster home. shadow envies prayer. prayer has lice and ghost

a bathroom for both dreams.
