This was a very special book I read this year. Grada Kilomba is a sensational artist, and her work dialogues with concepts of memory, trauma, violence, and the question of what gets spoken about.

The book that concludes the trilogy begun in Torto Arado, Coração sem medo is one of those books that truly grabs you!

Finally, after almost six months, I managed to finish Octavia Butler’s Earthseed series. For those who may not know Octavia, she was one of the most extraordinary science fiction writers ever to appear in this universe. I’m a huge fan of her work, and I deeply regret that she passed away so young. I mention this because the Earthseed series is one that Butler never got to finish, leaving us without the continuation of what was meant to be a trilogy. Octavia Butler - Font: Pin
