Two Terrific Books
Bookshop links included.
I read Megan Kamalei Kakimoto's Every Drop a Man's Nightmare. I seriously considered reading it in paper form on the train, to see if it changed who sat next to me. It's a wild strange anthology that touches on colonialism, changing bodies and objectification, and Hawaiian folklore. It's not an easy read, but there wasn't a single story in the collection that didn't make me feel something.
Anna Sortino's Give Me a Sign is all the summer camp feels. Lilah returns to the summer camp for deaf and blind students she attended as a camper, this time as a junior counselor. There's ASL goofs, deaf culture appropriation, police brutality, flirting, and all the awkward feels of summer camp and being the responsible one in a place you used to be the camper.
