Blackouts by Justin Torres
5.0
This novel is so clearly crafted with love and affection that I don’t even really have the vocabulary to do it justice. Torres writes with such obvious care for its characters that shines through every page.
The reconstruction of history is rendered so beautifully through the interplay of absence and presence, and drives home, to me, just how lucky I am to be queer and how important it is to understand that queerness through the lens of an heirloom or birthright to be protected and cherished in a world that seeks to disrupt both of those things. I loved this novel.
