They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us by Hanif Abdurraqib

emotional informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

I was blown away by Hanif's writing throughout the book. There was so many times I had no clue where Hanif was leading us to, but was blown away by the destination when we arrived. He speaks of varying topics and events that occurred in 2016, both personal and public, and how they have impacted him. It's hard to put into words what to expect in this book, because he does such a masterful job throughout each of these individual essays. I feel like I would cheapen the experience trying to put things into my own voice, when his works perfectly. I couldn't put the book down and now I'm looking forward to reading the rest of his works.
