Minor Black Figures

"Minor Black Figures is one of the most perfect books I’ve ever read. It’s about an artist struggling with modern life (and dating a hot ex-priest), and I was so engrossed by all the questions it raised. How do you make Black art when the world so badly misreads it? How can you love when love requires vulnerability? Can we restore our faith in the world when it keeps disappointing or harming us? These threads come together deftly, beautifully, with prose I happily lost myself in."
