This is an experimental short story collection, in which the author is semi-present and also a narrator. I learned a lot about the Black diaspora in Canada and thought a lot about colonial abuses and the reality of living while Black there.   Although I enjoyed hearing the author’s voice,

I think that the audiobook confuses the distinctions between characters and timelines, especially as there is some character overlap.

Definitely worth time and attention with content notes about enslavement, racist violence, and racial profiling.
