#FeelinTheLove Day 26: #SisterLove - This shared womanity or sense of girlhood is evident in the tagged book I read for #DecolonizeBookshelves - irrespective of one‘s skin color, to be female is to belong to “the ranks of the wretched.” One of the really great titles I read from the list of “Decolonize Your Bookshelf in 50 Books.” My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-opq

The language I can only describe as virtuosic. Brutally, brutally funny. Linguistic pyrotechnics. If we were allowed more characters, I might be able to post-quote any of it, because the brilliance goes on for pages and pages, all interconnected. Please just read it.

I've been excited to read this one ever since I read one of its stories ("The Plums") in a perfectly delightful short-fiction anthology called Wayward Girls and Wicked Women. I like how seamlessly the story passes between prose paragraphs and line-broken poetry, and I recommend both collections.
