This book kind of fucked me up. It’s a book that takes an act (or, really, several acts) of violence, and embodies it in a way that I can’t fully articulate. The language itself is often violent, or perhaps violated. It is unsettling, and it is amazing.

Intense, violent, angry, redemptive, powerful. These are not breezy verses, they take work to read and understand but the effort is worth it.
