Memoirs are their own myths, and in this memoir, Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton leans into this myth-making. By blurring the lines between straight ahead recounting and speculative fiction Mouton pens new fables centered around the experiences of Black women.
I think this book is best read a little bit at a time to allow breathing room for reflection. The writing is fierce and dense. Each word has heft. This book is the opposite of fluff — even at its most dreamy. While exploring beyond the limits of reality, Mouton remains entirely truthful
I received a digital advance reader copy from NetGalley and Henry Holt and Company in exchange for an honest review.
