Kai Cheng Thom

CW: A lot, my memory is shocking, but Self Harm, Graphic Violence, Transphobia, Police Brutality

I might have to give up my conviction that perfection doesn't exist.

I just consumed the audiobook in one sitting and was just left sobbing at the beauty of the journey, the bravery of the author, and simply just how magical and viscerally meaningful reading this was, especially today.

I couldn't put it down. I felt every emotion I would ever want sheiks reading. I am truly in awe.

If Hollywood and beyond lost their minds for Sarah by JT LeRoy (Laura Albert), the world and all existence need to give Kai Cheng Thom her fucking flowers. (I actually think Sarah is a phenomenal novel, despite all the everything around it. I also have empathy for Albert, but the lack of accountability isn't OK).

I'm just stunned. I wish I could be more articulate.

The magic realism moments are wonderful and strange. There is such heart and truth in the parts that happened and those that didn't. The specifics don't matter. The darkness and visceral violence are brutal. The darkness and might throughout the book are equally explored and held up for inspection.

I really need to read everything else by this author and then read this again because this was everything I needed. Bloody brilliant!… (mais)
