They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us, by Hanif Abdurraqib

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

This was beautifully written and the essays were so compelling. The music I knew and was familiar with was so perfectly and lovingly described, and the music I got the chance to learn about and appreciate through this book was such a welcome surprise. It is heavy material at times and deeply focused on grief, so I took my time reading this and made sure I was in the right headspace, but it is an absolutely stunning collection of essays.
