would you dare to pick this book up?
little rot by akwaeke emezi is my most recent five star read, but it’s also a read that doesn’t shy away from dark and disturbing topics.
in fact, the point of the book is pretty much the opposite: to bear witness to the poison in the world and in all of us.
it’s got fascinating morally gray characters, a swift plot, and absolutely brilliant writing.
