Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir by Akwaeke Emezi

2.0

I just could not get into this book. A few of the letters were lovely…I mean Emezi has a way with words…I will not lie. However, I got somewhere in the middle and just did not want to pick this up again. Memoir is probably my least favorite genre. Except those by professional comedians (which I often love), it often comes across to me as self-indulgent. That is how this felt to me. And some stories were just metaphor after metaphor. Not for me.
