THE DEEP ONES: "Shift" by Nalo Hopkinson in The Weird Tradition (June 2022)

Reviews

It wasn't bad, though I didn't like it as much as Midnight Robber, but this was her first novel so I'll give her another chance.

I have to admit, I wanted to put this book down for most of the first 100 pages. Then, all of a sudden, kablamo!--it hit me right in the heart. The next 200+ pages were a gut-wrenching, tear-jerking adventure that I wish hadn't ended. Tan Tan is my hero!

4.5 really. Clear and compelling and so much that I've never really seen before (in large part due to the limitations of my previous reading--I have read very few books by Afro-Caribbean authors in general). A really fun mixture of folk and fairy tale retellings/reimaginings, tinged with horror and a queer sexual sensibility.
