I’m African American, trans, initiated in traditional Black spiritual practices, into kink, a leftist, and an educator in the fine arts.
I’m looking for novel recommendations that speak to the intersections of my identities, but I’d also love to learn about other non-Black POC authors!
I like weird. I like sex. I like SF, but I’m open to other genres.
My favorite book of all time is Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany
Some of my other faves are:
Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler (God Is Change is tattooed across my arm, haha)
Vagabonds! By Eloghosa Osunde
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
The Death of Vivek Oji by Akwaeke Emezi
Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor
Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
Everything by James Baldwin
Etc.
Thank you so much for anything you may recommend!!! 🙂
