Dear Senthuran: A Black Spirit Memoir by Akwaeke Emezi

informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

I've read most of what Emezi has published, and <i> Pet </i> was one of my absolute favourite reads this year, so I was thrilled to discover Emezi had published a memoir. I loved that this was written as a series of letters to friends, family and other people important to Emezi. Their voice felt real and human and I appreciated their openness about their struggles with their mental health, and offering insight into their life as a nonbinary person. Emezi has a unique voice and creativity that is not often seen elsewhere, so getting some insight into their writing process, what inspired certain works and why they wrote them was an absolute treat. At this point, I'm pretty sure I'll read anything they write.
