wren_rainbow 's review for:
The Death of Vivek Oji
by Akwaeke Emezi
“ I know what they say about men who like other men…”
May I just say this story has wormed its way into my head since finishing, no matter what book I’ve read, no matter what I’m doing. The story focuses on various relationships, grief, self discovery, and identity. Vivek’s death is tragic and not in the way I expected but tragic none the less. Did Vivek truly live?
To be honest there were some aspects of the book that were a bit uncomfortable and I still wonder if it was necessary…I know there’s a video of the author explaining their reasoning for this particular relationship and will watch it eventually. Perhaps it will change my mind?
I wish we could have seen Nnemdi blossom
