Reviews

 


 “Leetsch’s nuanced handling of how topography, typography, space, and language become intertwined with love, intimacy, desire, and romance is, for me, the most generative contribution. The comparative approach that links spatial and affective thinking represents a valuable starting point for further approaches to contemporary African diasporic literature.” (Marco Medugno, Contemporary Women’s Writing, September 25, 2023)
