The Black Notebooks: An Interior Journey by Toi Derricotte
challenging
informative
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
Index under: double consciousness
This is a memoir about Toi Derricotte's experiences as a light-skinned Black woman in America. It is also one of the best descriptions of depression and loneliness I have ever read. She attempts to go beyond mere survival and actually heal. I am eager to read her poetry now.
