ANOTHER WORD FOR LOVE A Memoir

Carvell Wallace narrates his beautiful memoir with poignant urgency-- and a whole lot of love. Though he recounts trauma he experienced growing up Black and queer in America, he doesn't focus on it. Instead, this audiobook is about healing, connection, and beauty. In short, poetic chapters, he writes about music, making art, cooking, parenting, partnership, sex, and intimacy of all kinds. His voice, like his prose, has a poetic cadence. At times, his narration seems to fly, reaching higher and higher before culminating in an emotional crescendo. This deeply intimate and vulnerable work illuminates the inextricable connections between personal fulfillment and collective liberation. Wallace's voice soars and leaps--sometimes with delight and sometimes with grief--but always undeniably present. L.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2024]
