“To read Gravity According to Birds is to sign a contract of kinship in preparation to endure the innermost workings of the ‘adventurous soul’. Leo has brought a new existence to an infinite city, conducting grand tales in factually rooted streets, exposing its secrets in a story of wonder and strange dirty optimism.
This writing, a clear river, floats along on rich phrasing, carrying us with knowing hands; some soft, some hard, some groping, some hesitant, moving the story whole-heartedly from one page to the next. Through wit and feverish dialogue, the boys evolving into men on the streets of Tanger, Tangier, Tangiers, Moroc, becoming the tantalizing heartbeat of the story. It is here in this book that an author addresses evocative ideas, meaningful questions about identity, self discovery and heartfelt aching, empathy and greed, age and understanding, while investigating seemingly real stories about deep unbearable, and gashing traumas.
It is here, that he will raise your blood pressure and perform, no doubt, the feat of an immeasurable writer: seizing the futility of young, mindless travelers, the hope of enlightened heroes, the strength of beautiful women, and the natures of chronically nomadic men. All the while shedding a bright and effortless light on the shit that actually matters, all in relatable depth, while resting ever so dangerously ‘…at the edge of a vacuum’
Uncover your ears and strip down to your flesh, this is the new sound of literary rebellion”
