I would love to reread this via audiobook next time so I can just hear and sit with the poetry and rhythm of this writing.
What a beautiful book. If this debut novelist can include mention of essays by Teju Cole and describing the thick atmosphere of sound and music, then you can, too. Here’s hope to all the ambitious writers who want their stories told.
