Sordidez by E.G. Condé

challenging hopeful informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

Listened to the newly released audiobook and followed along with my hard copy. The performance in the audiobook is PHENOMENAL and being able to hear how some of the phrases are pronounced is very nice too. And I am so glad I used this opportunity (the release of the audiobook) to reread the book because I feel like I am able to appreciate it so much more, comparing to when I read it the first time. It exposes the violent consequences of greedy imperialism and colonialism with brutal honesty. But most of all, I love how it is unapologetically decolonial and celebrates indigenous cultures beautifully. I do think it would've benefited from having more spaces to set up the world and flesh out some of Vero's chapters more. I would absolutely love for this to become a full-length fiction, and I cannot wait to read whatever E. G. Condé writes next.
