Book of the Week: ORDINARY NOTES by Christina Sharpe

Acutely observed and beautifully written, Christina Sharpe’s Ordinary Notes explores the enduring effects of racism (relevant anywhere); questions about time, memory and loss; and the particular effects of these on the shapes and potentials of Black lives. Presented as a series of 248 ‘notes’ on her own life, on art and culture, and on the society in which she lives, the book is a perfect blend of form, art, passion and acuity.
