This is the kind of book that pokes and prods you into considering thoughts that are often floating in our minds and bodies and need to be given form - one of Sharpe’s talents. We all know Christina Sharpe is one of those rare academics who tackles her subjects with true literary skill, so I was curious about her newest book that compiles short reflections, thoughts, and insights into a collection of 249 “notes.” Sometimes these passages read like social media posts, other times like very short stories.
