“In the vein of Moshfegh’s MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION, Lia takes the metaphor of bodily illness to Kafkaesque extremes. Not since the works of Gayl Jones has the impact of institutional racism on the body of a contemporary Black woman been expressed so viscerally.”

Raw, modern, and emotionally attuned, I CAN FEEL IT ALL OVER grabs you by the collar and coos you through another’s pain. Cherished always is that ace writer who comes along and reminds us we are not alone.

“I CAN FEEL IT ALL OVER is an astounding debut. I have never read a novel that so vividly renders the sensory experiences of living in the world, and of living in a body in conflict with the world.”
