None

This book is a heartbreaking representation of the ways colonialism & racism affect our most intimate relationships. As Kimmortal says, “Real, real love’s in decolonization / total liberation of all nations.” This book is a step on the path towards love. 🥲

Dizzying, nested story of colonialism, queer love, and translation

No rating

This book is taking on so much at once, and it succeeds. Its various nested narratives and translations often leave the reader confused, which is the point. But ultimately, it is a story about what can and cannot be said or expressed (or even felt) and how power incessantly creates those rules.
