i haven't finished reading it, but boi oh boi if it is unreadable i love olufemi and i'm a huge fan of her first book, but this one i don't really know what it is and for who it is
some sort of spoken wordish artsy performance you would see at the tate, but in the shape of a book like, she talks abolition and whatnot, as per usual, but i'm not sure who's she talking to
very sad about it (sigh)
