"I should've listened to my instinct. I thought *maybe* the author would surprise me. No.

I don't want to shit on a Black debut author so I'm going to hold off on publicly writing about this until I parse out the author's intentions."

"I finished this book yesterday. I'm writing a thorough review for an outlet but for now, I'll say this is a good book. I think the disconnect I experienced was a consequence of the fact that I read a digital version (not my preference) and I read while in a completely different environment from which I usually do (immersed in a highly social residency).

I'll update when the review runs."

Gustavo  Perez Firmat
“The fact that I
am writing to you
in English
already falsifies what I
wanted to tell you.
My subject:
how to explain to you that I
don't belong to English
though I belong nowhere else”
Gustavo Perez Firmat, Bilingual Blues: Poems, 1981-1994

Langston Hughes
“I stay cool, and dig all jive,
That's the way I stay alive.
My motto,
as I live and learn,
is
Dig and be dug
In return.”
Langston Hughes

Anchee Min
“If you can't go back to your mother's womb, you'd better learn to be a good fighter.”
Anchee Min, Red Azalea: A Memoir

“History buried becomes history repeated. A whole generation of Africans have been denied the truth of their own history, and so we do not really know ourselves, or our countries. Reclaiming those erased or hidden histories is vital political and creative work, and is central to my purpose as a writer.”
Shailja Patel, Migritude

Ben Okri
“This is what you must be like. Grow wherever life puts you down.”
Ben Okri, The Famished Road
