In her brilliantly inventive debut collection, Vanessa Onwuemezi
takes readers on a surreal and haunting journey through a landscape
on the edge of time. At the border with another world, a line of
people wait for the gates to open; on the floor of a lonely room, a
Born Winner runs through his life's achievements and losses; in a
suburban garden, a man witnesses a murder that pushes him out into
the community. Struggling to realize the human ideals of love and
freedom, the characters of Dark Neighbourhood roam instead the
depths of alienation, loss and shame. With a detached eye and
hallucinatory vision, they observe the worlds around them as the
line between dream and reality dissolves and they themselves begin
to fragment. Electrifying and heady, and written with a masterful
lyrical precision, Dark Neighbourhood heralds the arrival of a
strikingly original new voice in fiction.
