Sarah-Hope | 55 comments The Ice Harp (The American Novels) by Norman Lock The Ice Harp is the newest addition to Norman Lock's "American Follies" series that uses fiction to explore key moments in US history through unique perspectives. In this volume, an aging and increasingly befuddled Ralph Waldo Emerson converses with both the living and the dead as he tries to determine whether he has lived a worthwhile life.

message 27: by Sarah-Hope (new)

Sarah-Hope | 55 comments And Then He Sang a Lullaby by Ani Kayode Somtochukwu And Then He Sang a Lullaby is a contemporary novel set in Nigeria and exploring the lives of two gay men as they transition into their "new" lives—one at college, the other working. This is an interesting read, particularly because there are some tensions between the central characters both about acknowledging their homosexuality and deciding how (and if) to become politically active.

message 28: by Sarah-Hope (new)

Sarah-Hope | 55 comments Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H. Hijab Butch Blues is a remarkable memoir Lamya H., born in south Asia, raised on the Arabian Peninsula, and now living as an immigrant in the U.S., writes under a pseudonym and leaves locations vague to preserve her anonymity, safety, and family connections. Why? Because as a devout Muslim, a lesbian, and an immigrant she's acutely aware of her tenuous state and aware of the lack of spaces where she can simultaneously exercise her faith and live as her true self.
