Zami: A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lorde

challenging dark emotional reflective fast-paced

4.0

This was a wonderful book, and Audre Lorde is such a great writer. For me, the main faults were that I had trouble connecting to her writing, maybe because the theme of the book shifted so suddenly from family to romantic love (which makes sense, because this is a memoir). Maybe this book would have worked better as a series of short stories or essays? Either way, Lorde is really amazing and she constructed a captivating narrative of her life.
