Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir by Akwaeke Emezi

adventurous dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective medium-paced

5.0

Dear Senthuran is such an extraordinary book! Emezi's writing is poetic, powerful, funny, and full of uncomfortable and brutal honesty. this is a trans memoir, a memoir of indigenous cosmologies, a memoir of mental illness - but also not just not being of this world. It's a memoir about transition and transcendence. I read a review that said Emezi is arrogant, but what's wrong with that? Such a stunning piece of work about too many things to list in a review, not for the fainthearted.
