A review by kdahlo
The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi

4.0

Heavy, intense book. It was great but not always an easy thing to read, there are many subjects here worthy of a trigger warning, violence, sexual violation and grief described in a very raw, painful way. The writing was beautiful and compassionate. The author of this book is nonbinary, and I really appreciated their approach to discussing and describing gender, across all the many great characters in this book, including but not limited to its titular subject.
