Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson
5.0
Ok, so this book!!!! Incredible! The tears that have consistently flowed with each passing page…
Caleb’s writing was the best of poetry and prose, the best of art and life, the deepest of pains and trauma but also the most relatable experience of Blackness through fiction I’ve read this year. I literally feel different after finishing this book, literally I feel seen (which is both scary and so much of what I yearn for in this moment). So much gratitude, so many emotions, so much love, so much of… everything
