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

5.0

 i feel like i cannot put into words how much i adored this book. i think hanif is one of the best writers, if not the best, of our time. the way he ties an essay about a concert into discussions of grief and race and heartbreak is seamless. i trust him completely as a writer in every essay. i cannot speak highly enough of this book! would definitely recommend giving the audiobook a listen too!

also, the amount of essays in here praising carly rae jepsen as the pop star of our time, and diving into her catalog about desire and physical closeness were so fantastic.
