A review by sydapel
A History of My Brief Body by Billy-Ray Belcourt

challenging reflective sad slow-paced

4.75

I feel totally unmoored by this book. The writing is profoundly and intimately reflective, almost volatile in the pace it takes, swinging from rage to sorrow to longing to adoration so quickly. Belcourt speaks so profoundly about queerness, indigenous oppression in the Americas and his personal journey as a writer in these spaces. This is one of those books that requires slow reading and forces you to take a step back. The subject matter is difficult at times, but the number of quotes that will stay with me make it worth it.
