About This Item
New York:: Harper Collins,, (2018). First edition -. Fine in illustrated wrappers. An uncommon advance issue. . Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. ) The second award-winning novel (third book) by this Nigerian-American, who was selected as one of Granta's Best Young American Novelists. In his letter to the reader bound in at the front, Iweala says that this is, among other things, a novel about police brutality and about immigration from an African perspective. The story of two privileged teenagers from very different backgrounds, and a chain of events with devastating consequences. On the surface, Niru leads a charmed life. . . . But Niru has a painful secret: he is queer- an abominable sin to his conservative Nigerian parents. When his father accidentally discovers Niru is gay, the fallout is brutal and swift. As the two friends struggle to reconcile their desires against the expectations and institutions that seek to define them, they find themselves speeding toward a future more violent and senseless than they can imagine." 207 pp.
