A review by thegayngelgabriel
January Children by Safia Elhillo

4.0

Intimate and lush and very very precise. I love work about people becoming obsessed with an (totally unrelated to them personally) artist/writer as a mode of working through something--Helen MacDonald with T.H. White, Alison Bechdel with Donald Winnicott (and Virginia Woolf), Safia Elhillo with Ol' Dirty Bastard and now Abdelhalim Hafez.
