Says author Barbara Boswell about #Khamr:
& #39;Khan renders this excruciating journey into adulthood with elegant, moving prose, skilfully demonstrating the soul-destroying effects of intersecting oppression. Yet he leaves the reader with a sense of hope and redemption.& #39;

& #39;This written text will speak to many Black Queer people and, may even, save lives. When I read this book I felt less alone, I felt seen in all my complexities and hidden histories.& #39;
