The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde
by Alexis Pauline Gumbs Review 15 of 2024
Part biography, part poetry recitation, part history lecture, with a dash of pop science, this book defies easy categorization. The life of Audre Lorde is described in relation to the world around her by the talented author and narrator Alexis Pauline Gumbs. I’ve been fascinated by the complex and purposeful life of Audre Lorde for years but I am hesitant to pick up longer nonfiction on any subject. I shouldn’t have hesitated. Though you may want to be in an open and engaged state of mind to listen to this, it’s well worth the time.
Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for this audiobook for review purposes.
