Homo sapienne by Niviaq Korneliussen

I loved a lot of elements of this book, but I think the stuff with a trans character was not handled very well. A lot of it comes from a very cis-centric perspective and another character spends far too much time tying genitalia to sexuality. Having said that, I am a cis reviewer myself so I don’t want to speak over any trans reviewers who have a different perspective! If you’re a trans person who has read this book I would love to hear your thoughts and link to your review, if you have one.

Five gays in the Nuuk community, somewhere in Greenland. One with their own struggle; on discovering they are queer, and behaving as the people around try to invalidate them before the "today" society.

Taught us on the beauty of love, loving and being loved. This book is alive with all the curses. One emotion for all the people in this novel: miserable.

2.7/5⭐

Psssst! I really love the book cover that I actually made my purchase without even reading the synopsis at the back. Wise decision though. (I do judge a book by its cover)

Tror att Blomsterdalen är mer för mig, men nu blev det den här till att börja med.
