Hard to read but seemed weirdly clinical. I guess there is no way to get this story told if you adopt a dispassionate voice, but the loathsomeness of everyone involved in the slave trade should never cease to revolt us.

Each story was a tiny quiet perfect gem.

An extremely slow burn. Did not engage until 50% through at least. But def worth it in the end.

DNFing at 40% . Don't really have the stomach for A Christmas Carol but for a guy on his deathbed who just basically is trash and got away with all of it.. There is no ending I can imagine that is going to make it worth reading any more of this.

Good. CW for body horror. The absolute tiniest bit of magical realism. Kind of wish it weren't in there. Messy, anxious, self-destructive. But pretty real.

Narrated by author. Part fiction / part non-fiction. Interesting. Makes me want to read One Thousand and One Nights.

Spent a lot of time googling songs to read by. What a massive depth of knowledge for music... But at the same time could see it all so clearly in my mind -- like a limited series for Netflix or something (except they could never get all the song rights...)
