Ugggggh, I had completed my descriptions of all but the very last book on this list... And then my browser crashed and I lost everything. (I ALWAYS draft these posts in Word first, and then edit and tweak them endlessly before posting. This is the ONE TIME I made myself try writing it directly into a Dreamwidth post, in an attempt to be more succinct and just post it right away for once. And then of course this happened. Ugggggh.)

So maybe, as I'm faced with the slog of recreating something I'd already written in great and loving detail...maybe this time I WILL actually manage to be succinct. :-) 


VERY TOP BOOK

The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta – A beautiful, powerful coming of age novel, told in verse, by a poet. The character (and the author) is of Greek Cypriot and Jamaican descent, navigating race and class and gender and sexuality, while finding his own identity.
