notes from a trip to russia was a major standout, the rest was okay but didn’t draw me in a lot. i have been reading various pieces of black feminism and i think the issue i find with lorde is that it isn’t framed as politically, which is the part i find interesting. this isn’t to say her writing isn’t important, it just doesn’t resonate with me as much as the other things i have read thus far. took way too long to finish. perhaps some other writings by lorde would be better for me. i also think that my first audiobook having been freedom is a constant struggle, read by angela davis, made listening to a book of speeches and essays read by someone other than the writer less appealing.
