mal0ureads 's review for:

The Cancer Journals by Audre Lorde

5.0

Excellent. Finished this right in time (aka the second the doorbell rang and the first person arrived to discuss it for our little autotheory group) and sort of wished I'd read it in one big sitting. So much packed into like 70 pages. Lorde is maybe better at communicating big ideas in profound yet incredibly understandable ways than any other writer I've come across. It's poetic and political and beautiful and still so clear!! Lucid is perhaps the word. Riding the Lorde train and reading Zami next
