You must read with care and memory, and it will satiate those who desire a literary feast. Alexis De Veaux has formed a beautiful tapestry of fiction and poetry, and poetry is laced throughout the short stories. And although the stories are individually titled, each story is part of series, a lyrical series that unfolds without regard to sequence. The nonlinear narratives undergird one of the themes: time. In "Yabo," time has no boundaries. Present, past, and future are the same, and this “principle” is mirrored in the expressions of West African folklore, spirituality, symbols, and history throughout the book.Though groups of characters exist in different centuries and forms and sexualities, they all relate in complex, surprising, and satisfying ways. Parts of the stories are steeped in the rural South; other parts transpire in the bustling North. Regardless of location, the stories are woven in expected ways, through realms of life and death and unseen worlds, through spirit and flesh, and pain and desire. I especially liked “Between Here and Nowhere.” The story is less than two pages, but knowing and reverent and told through the mouths of an eagle and leopard.Above, I mentioned Jules. I was particularly drawn to Jules’ character, life, and relationship with Zen. Jules is a resilient person with strengths and talents as deep as Jules’ weaknesses. Jules is intersex, and from day one, Ruby and Ramses (Jules’ parents), were careful not to “correct” Jules’ genitalia or categorize Jules as male or female. Instead, Jules lingers in the spaces of both neither— bn— an acronym coined by Jules’ parents; a pronoun in which Jules identifies. I kept waiting for the moment that De Veaux would have to use a conventional pronoun to aid in the storytelling of Jules characterization and experiences. But, it never happened. Instead, the reader must read along the lines of Jules’ identity (literally and figuratively), which encourages readers to set aside the limitations of labels— which reminded me to avoid dichotomous pronouns here.My only issue with "Yabo" is also a bit of a reader pet peeve. I prefer traditional styling with paragraphs and dialogue. Indentations and quotation marks are my friends. When they’re missing, the reading takes more effort, like I’m fighting the text by second-guessing myself and re-reading a line to determine whether it was exposition or dialogue to begin with.I highly recommended "Yabo" because it is the type of book you not only read, but also see and experience— and the kind of book that incites writer’s envy.[Originally posted at the Black Lesbian Literary Collective] ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A well-written gem *by C***0 on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2014* I loved the language of this novel. It was lyrical, mythical and mystical all at once. I loved how the opening metaphor of a porous membrane was the foundation for the structure of the novel and how historical truth and mythical realities are blended. I finished reading this novel about 10 days ago and it is still living in my mind. I will have to go back to it and take notes and copy passages that I feel are beautiful. I haven't done that with a novel in a long time. I recommend it to readers who like to take time to digest a well written novel that breaks our expectations of chronological, place driven, traditional narratives. Ms. De Veaux breaks with tradition on many levels while embracing it on others. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful story *by M***Z on Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2020* This story is so powerful and deep. One of the best books I’ve read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/17999699-yabo](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/17999699-yabo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
