An edgy, bitingly funny debut about a queer, half-Nigerian college
sophomore who, enraged and exhausted by the racism at her elite
college, is determined to reveal the truth about The
Unfortunates--the unlucky subset of Black undergrads who Just.
Keep. Disappearing. Sahara is Not Okay. Entering her sophomore
year, she already feels like a failure: her body is too much, her
love life is nonexistent, she's not Nigerian enough for her family,
her grades are subpar, and, well, the few Black classmates she has
are vanishing--or dying. Sahara herself is close to giving up:
depression has been her longtime "Life Partner." She believes that
this narrative--taking the form of an irreverent, no-holds-barred
"thesis" addressed to the powerful University Committee that will
judge her--may be her last chance to document the Unfortunates'
experience before she joins their ranks...But maybe, just maybe,
she and her complex community of BIPOC women aren't ready to go out
without a fight.
