Too Much Lip by Melissa Lucashenko
4.0
The blurb on the back of the book says “Too Much Lip’s language is addictively poetic, it’s cry for social justice real; it’s powered by literary rocket fuel.” Yes, the language is explosive and powerful; the author uses aboriginal words with no explanation and it’s thrilling.
I really loved this book. I picked it up at the library because I have never read anything about indigenous people of Australia and thought it might be interesting. But it’s also funny and tragic and rough and gorgeous.
