Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the e-ARC.
Sink is a series of vignettes from Joseph Earl Thomas's childhood as a creative, nerdy Black kid constantly surrounded by the threat of violence. The way it discusses toxic masculinity, cycles of violence, race, and poverty in depth, all through the childlike and humorous perspective of an 8- to 12-year-old narrator, make this a must-read. Thomas's descriptions of his childhood environment will stay with me for a long time.
