Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi
5.0
Just shy of a solid 5 stars. Mind exquisitely blown.
I tried explaining this in a way that mirrored the beautiful complexities of queerness and I jumbled my way to the word awesome being most fitting when taking into account the entire expansive universe.
The meeting of physical and spiritual. Nothing I've encountered before and incredibly gorgeous writing. One of the first Igbo words I learn colliding with someone I meet of the same name is the universe showing off.
'The Obi may kneel down, but it never crumbles.'
Oof, Emezi.
