Vicissitudes (PB) (2021)

Vicissitudes confronts the transformative power of love in black romance and relationships when we dare to question conventional ideas about gender and sexuality and who we consider worthy of our love and commitment. Narrated through various character perspectives, Vicissitudes explores the intricacies and complexities of being black, queer and trans and boldly confronts the barriers (within and without) that we face when we dare live to love with authenticity, dignity and integrity. Kim Green challenges readers to reconsider the meaning of love, struggle and liberation in a world that clings to labels out of fear of change and the unexpected. Exceedingly relevant for today's rapidly changing world, this morality play of trial and triumph shines a bright light on the enormous power of love to reinvent ourselves and transform the world.
