Angry Queer Somali Boy: A Complicated Memoir by Mohamed Abdulkarim Ali

4.0

---

4☆ — very impressed by this debut by the writer who is a gay somali man, rendered in beautiful prose that is characterised by a haunting sadness and unflinching anger. there is an ache that we as the reader can feel radiating from the pages, as the writer tells us of his experience growing up gay, black, and muslim under an abusive environment and grappling with addiction. a heavily underrated memoir that i would definitely recommend. add this to your shelves now !
