Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric de Claudia Rankine
Where Citizen is essays and articulated thoughts, Don’t Let Me Be Lonely is dream states and small moments. It is dark and morbid; it is depressive. It brings you into post 9-11 America and Bush’s America. It references anxieties that keep you up at night. It muses on death. It sanctifies people like Lionel Tate and Abner Louima. Claudia Rankine keeps waking up in a fever dream that is America and these are her dream journals. Her struggles with falling asleep. Her proximity to suicide. Her collection of expirations. This was a history lesson for me and a transport back in time. I was a kid when most of the events discussed were happening— fully unaware of the terrors that go bump in America’s night. But this book transported me there—twenty years ago. I recommend you read this but do so with care. It is such a book that reminds you of loneliness but still reaches out a hand nevertheless.… (més)
A new favorite. A book in the perfect format. Streams and streams of consciousness and streams of experiences and streams of emotions—aggressions, sorrows, confusions. Rankine’s book collages Black experiences and Black resistances along with Black art. An inspiration for my writing going forward. Thank you, Claudia Rankine~
I just think I'm too stupid to understand poetic language. This is a short book so I kept reading every line I didn't immediately get multiple times. I thought hard about it, tried to get what was being communicated. And I just constantly didn't get it. So yeah 2 stars is just because I didn't get most of the book outside the basic declarative stuff about racism. It's me being stupid not a criticism of the book

tombomp | Hi ha 67 ressenyes més | Oct 31, 2023 | La primera mitad me ha parecido brutal, la segunda se me ha quedado un poco más floja en comparación. Sin embargo, la visión que aporta de las situaciones cotidianas vistas desde una primera persona y que no solemos ser capaces de descifrar desde el privilegio blanco me han encogido el corazón y me han hecho ser mucho más consciente de todo. Totalmente recomendado, y más aún con lo que está pasando en el mundo ahora.
