ADVANCE PRAISE FOR DEAR SENTHURAN : "The writing is gorgeous and evocative, but it's their unwavering self-belief that really inspires. Are they a god?

Dear Senthuran is about powerful excellence, especially the excellence that appears in bodies that aren't white and aren't male. Emezi is changing the world and our reaction to this kind of power." -- The Paris Review "Unlike anything I've read. There are many magnificent parts where the language, the insight, the writing are simply unparalleled. They also are fearlessly open about identity, success, human frailty, mental health, destructive decisions that are sometimes necessary to achieve a greater goal. [And] they are remarkably clear- eyed about the best and worst parts of themselves. . . . This is a remarkable memoir and really expands possibilities for the genre." -- Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist "The writing is gorgeous and evocative, but it's their unwavering self-belief that really inspires. Are they a god? Emezi tells us our opinions on that subject don't matter. One thing is certain though: Their talent is clearly divine." -- BuzzFeed "Fiery and diamond-hard, written by a once-in-a-generation voice." -- Vulture "A must-read memoir about creativity and identity." -- Bustle "A memoir in letters, to various friends, lovers and family in Emezi's life. . . . It's like no memoir I've ever read before--in the best possible way." -- Alma "Hypnotic and poetic . . .
