That Reminds Me

Beschreibung

"Episodic, fragmented, full of poetry's coiled power, That Reminds Me is the story of one young man remembering. It's an entreaty to a lost culture, and a fight for love, for family, and for the respite of fixed identity. And in its searing and delicate questionings--of belonging, addiction, sexuality, violence, mental health, and religion--That Reminds Me firmly places Derek Owusu amongst the brightest British writers of today"--

Rezensionen

A dreamy, impressionistic offeringof reassembled fragments of memories emerging through the misty beauty of a deliciously individualistic poetic sensibility with flashes of Twi and UK London ebonics to further remind us of what has been missing from British poetry... I can't tell you how impressed I was and how much I enjoyed reading this stunning book. Bernadine Evaristo, Booker Prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other
