Small Worlds by Caleb Azumah Nelson

5.0

4.75 | CALEB AZUMAH NELSON STRIKES AGAIN. Open Water was phenomenal, and he manages to write another wonderful, raw, and personal piece. I’ve learned that it’s not always just the plot that allures me into a good book, it’s also for the prose. I could read caleb’s grocery list and be left sobbing uncontrollably. Small Worlds perfectly captures grief and how grief can both separate us but also bring us together. It is about music, fathers, mothers, siblings, romantic partners, loss, race, london, ghana, and more. it is about so many things that have made life so tragically beautiful. Caleb Azumah Nelson pours his heart out into the most poignant, poetic, and descriptive form of writing that has made him become an auto-buy author for me now
