Status Updates From Dear Senthuran: A Black spi...

I’ve never read anything like this. I’ve been reading Emezi for a few years and this book is such great context for her background, the cannon she’s read and is considering, and some of the deep raw shit she went through to get where she is. A cool look at Igbo Ontology, Nigerian Geography and social Commentary/culture, with some great nuggets for writers.

coming back to finish this up

“It is a one-​way trip, my love, you cannot undo being born, you cannot undo the body. There is no rush. It’s okay for it to be slow; you only think it’s slow because it’s flesh. […] the body is already destroying itself, the body is already dying. I take comfort in that. I am already being destroyed, I am already dying and going home, and I have work to do.” p. 182
