It’s not your fault that the world is making you sick

On World Mental Health Day, many will tell you how to fix yourself. In actuality, we should focus on fixing the system that is making us sick.

Book review: There There

What comes to mind when you think about Native Americans? If you're currently thinking about cliché-riddled men in feathers dancing around a campfire or silently standing behind problematic white Hollywood actors, you might want to consider picking up a copy of this book.

Book review: As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow

I'll admit, I'm a rather emotional person. But if a book is so impactful in its storytelling that I repeatedly have to put it down just to regain my composure, then that is quite remarkable-even for my standards.

Book review: The Extinction of Irena Rey

"The Extinction of Irena Rey" is a well-crafted, witty book filled with fascinating titbits and one of my favourite novels of 2024.

Book review: The Great Chimera

This book is nearly 400 pages long and I finished it in just under 2 weeks. I’m not a fast reader at all, so this should already give you a fairly good idea of how enthralled I was by its story.

Book review: Love at Six Thousand Degrees

The first thing that stood out to me about "Love at Six Thousand Degrees" by Japanese author Maki Kashimada was that there are no breaks in the story.

Book review: Black Foam

One of my favourite experiences is starting a new book and feeling lukewarm about it, only to be left utterly impressed by its story by the end. And this is exactly what happened with "Black Foam" by Eritrean author Haji Jabir.
