Unlike anything I've read before, Roxane Gay's remarkable book is a daring exploration of the terror and beauty of refusing to explain yourself.

Through a series of letters addressed to friends, family, and fellow storytellers, Akwaeke vividly depicts the shape of a life lived in overlapping realities. From heartbreak and chronic pain to intimacy with death and becoming a beast, this is a profound embodiment as a nonhuman, transcending the boundaries imposed by expectations and legibility.

The result is a captivating Black spirit memoir, a powerful and raw unfolding of identity. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human experience and the power of self-discovery.
