The framing of the Whitney Houston section moved me to tears.

Beautiful musings on the stories and art of Black performers and how they intertwine with the author’s own life. One of my favorite lines on the Abdurraqib’s relationship with his brother:
“I am thankful for what it is to grow up with a life fastened to another life, even as you both age upward and outward from whatever paths you began on. I am thankful for how the fastening of those lives creates a type of understanding of the unspoken, and I am thankful for how the fastening of those lives creates a type of urgency around that understanding.”
