[Kirkus Reviews @KirkusReviews]

“I think too often writers of color and other marked or marginalized writers are expected to ‘sell’ their marked identity—i.e., ‘read this book if you want to know what it’s like to be brown/queer/poor/etc.’” @thiriimkm discusses NAMES FOR LIGHT. https://t.co/bd2Nkbw6pN
