The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta

4.0

This is a brilliant book about identity and what it means on a personal level, not just a communal level.
I’ve never read anything in verse before it was an interesting experience, very different but I did enjoy it. I do believe that the story could not have been told better any other way, I would go so far to say in any other form it would have suffered.
The Black Flamingo is a story about personal journey, identity written in a poignant and evocative voice, I definitely suggest it be a must read.
4.5/5
