Aftershocks Book Review
Nadia Owusu has a complicated background. “Although I identify as Black,” she writes in her memoir “ Aftershocks,” “I am more literally Caucasian than most people who call themselves Caucasian. As Nadia Owusu writes in “Aftershocks” — a gorgeous and unsettling memoir of Owusu’s own peripatetic childhood, along with the bewilderment and breakdown that came after — it’s only when Pilate. Aftershocks is the way she hauled herself from the wreckage of her life’s perpetual quaking, the means by which she has finally come to understand that the only ground firm enough to count on is the one written into existence by her own hand. 'Aftershocks is the intimate, deeply moving memoir about where Owusu came from and how she found herself.' — HELLOGIGGLES 'A poetic coming-of-age story, Nadia Owusu's Aftershocks thoroughly scrambles the usual genre classifications, combining memoir with cultural history and contemporary resonance.'
