Isaac's Song: A Novel by Daniel Black

4.5

Another stunning story by Daniel Black. I was over 3/4 of the way through the novel when Isaac saw his father's letters and I started crying realizing that Daniel was connecting Don't Cry for Me with Isaac's Song. I love that these companion stories, which delve into the incredibly tough and complex topic of Black queerness and masculinity, give us two very different but intertwined perspectives on a father and son's relationship. Poetic, inspiring, raw, emotional. Daniel Black is one of the best.
