'Although he writes about queer lives and loves in Nigeria, Arinze
Ifeakandu's voice is sensually alert to the human and universal in
every situation. These quietly transgressive stories are the work
of a brilliant new talent' DAMON GALGUT, Booker Prize-winning
author of The Promise 'Contemporary love stories with moments of
real surprise and revelation' BRANDON TAYLOR, author of Real Life
'Gorgeous... A hugely impressive collection, full of subtlety,
wisdom and heart' SARAH WATERS, author of Fingersmith 'Captures the
tenderness and tumult of queer love, familial love, self-love, and
the many ways love elates and eludes us.... Masterful. What a
glorious collection!' DEESHA PHILYAW, author of The Secret Lives of
Church Ladies 'Magic in motion... A staggering, heartshattering
show' ELOGHOSA OSUNDE, author of Vagabonds! 'Raw tender grace... A
serious literary talent has emerged' COLM TOIBIN, author of The
Magician 'Quite simply a tour de force' SARAH HALL, author of
Burntcoat In this stunning debut from one of Nigeria's most
promising young writers, the stakes of love meet a society in flux
A man revisits the university campus where he lost his first love,
aware now of what he couldn't understand then. A daughter returns
home to Lagos after the death of her father, where she must face
her past - and future -relationship with his longtime partner. A
young musician rises to fame at the risk of losing himself and the
man who loves him. Generations collide, families break and are
remade, languages and cultures intertwine, and lovers find their
ways to futures; from childhood through adulthood; on university
campuses, city centres, and neighbourhoods where church bells
mingle with the morning call to prayer. These nine stories of queer
male intimacy brim with simmering secrecy, ecstasy, loneliness and
love in their depictions of what it means to be gay in contemporary
Nigeria.
