Narrated through various character perspectives, <em>Vicissitudes</em> 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.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This is a novel for our times...an important Black love story that interrogates a multitude of assumptions of what Black love looks like, how it unfolds in communities and complicates the mainstream definition of gender." </p><p><strong>Matt Richardson</strong>, Professor of Feminist Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara</p><p><br></p><p>"</em>Vicissitudes is an impeccably written story with an exciting mixture of suspense, controversy and enlightenment.
