A review by meganmilks
Yabo by Alexis De Veaux

5.0

Read for my new book club! In gorgeous prose, de Veaux maps intersex (and nonbinary) gender onto/alongside the simultaneity of time. Both/neither simultaneously. Structural similarities to Nalo Hopskinson's The Salt Roads, with three main overlapping settings and storylines -- weaving together characters in Jamaica, North Carolina, New York; many slippages here, all kinds of fluidity (gender, time, genre, subjectivity), hella queerness. Also engages poignantly and critically with the history of slavery in New York. Huge huge world in 160 pages.
