That Reminds Me | Derek Owusu

A virtuosic debut by a raw new talent. That Reminds Me tells the story of K, a British-Ghanaian boy whose turbulent childhood spent passing through foster homes, leaves him battling with a budding neurosis. K’s life is revealed in fragments – through hypnotic verse we experience the families he’s loved and left behind, his first sexual encounters, spiritual doubts and feel with ever-increasing urgency, the harrowing weight of his own faltering identity. An honest and timely evaluation of a black man’s struggle to belong and later come to terms with failing mental health. Utterly convincing and deeply sad, Owusu’s storytelling will bring readers to tears.
