#BookoftheWeek #PrideMonth How to Leave the World by Marouane Bakhti is a poetic, intimate journey through identity, desire, and diaspora. A stunning, genre-defying debut. Trans. Lara Vergnaud @dividedpublish divided.online/all-books/how-…

"Gentrification is a stalker" Dr Joy James #beyondcopcity @TribunalPeoples @DrJoyJames

Congratulations to @dividedpublish “An urgent, bleakly funny, fragmentary account of displacement, queer desire, and finding a place in the world. Using a collage technique, Bakhti has produced an outstanding novel about identity and endurance.”
