The Deep by Rivers Solomon
4.0

A really interesting, sometimes dizzying read that nevertheless was super interesting. I'm not sure if the parts that confused me around the world were a product of me reading this badly or if it was meant to be that way, but I would definitely like to return to this and try it again. I think the afterword by clipping. was SUPER helpful in contextualizing all of it, and I kind of wish I could have read it upfront and be prepared to approach it from that perspective. But there's a lot going on here about memory and history and trauma, and it's all so well-done, definitely recommend.
