Having Spent Life Seeking

About the book

Kae Tempest writes about searching, restlessness and the quiet, unglamorous work of becoming yourself. Deep feeling and linguistic intimacy sit side by side on every page.

What I thought

Language that lands like a heartbeat — tender, direct and impossible to skim. I read it slowly and kept returning to the same few lines.
