Zami: A New Spelling of my Name by Audre Lorde

challenging emotional reflective slow-paced

4.0

 I read a couple of essays by Audre Lorde last year and immediately knew I wanted read more of her work. This was brilliant and I can see why it's such a beloved classic. The language is beautiful and there's a quality about it which felt like fiction, hence the term biomythography. I also found it fascinating reading about New York in the 1930s to 1950s because it's a period I didn't know much about.
