Publisher's Summary

In letters addressed to their friends, to members of their family - both biological and chosen - and to fellow storytellers, Akwaeke describes the shape of a life lived in overlapping realities.

Through heartbreak, chronic pain, intimacy with death, becoming a beast, this is embodiment as a nonhuman: outside the boundaries imposed by expectations and legibility.

This book is an account of the grueling work of realignment and remaking necessary to carve out a future for oneself. The result is a black spirit memoir: a powerful, raw unfolding of identity.

honest and instructive

this is an honest account of the author's determination to succeed. the title is good, and somehow telling; it reads like a young writer certain that everything they do and think is enough without structure to serve as a memoir. that's harsh, but my opinion.
