Praise and press coverage:
“My intention was to write stories, construct riddles around liberation. How does someone in a very banal, realist scenario unlock something that gives them more space, or how do they get to see themselves in the front seat?””
—Valérie Bah, from an interview with the Montreal Review of Books
“Rendered in incendiary prose, The Rage Letters is a striking collection of linked stories which astutely and with swift humour explores the lives, identities, relationships, and furies of its characters. Grounded in the enchanting grit of Montreal and elsewhere, these stories take playful and surprising slants as their Black, queer, and trans characters navigate familiar realities with fortitude and, at times, joy.”
—Francesca Ekwuyasi, author of Butter Honey Pig Bread
