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 'In these gorgeous stories, Ifeakandu takes on big, untidy emotions - love, loneliness, yearning, grief - and writes about them with extraordinary deftness and grace. This is a hugely impressive collection, full of subtlety, wisdom and heart'SARAH WATERS, author of Fingersmith'Magic in motion... Arinze writes like a composer or an orchestral director, bringing notes together to form a staggering, heartshattering show'ELOGHOSA OSUNDE, author of Vagabonds! 'These stories are written with raw tender grace. They dramatize what love is like in a time when love is under siege... It is clear from this book that a serious literary talent has emerged'COLM TÓIBÍN, author of The Magician 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. A debut of emotional charge, marking a compassionate, important new voice in fiction.

in Killing Eve and Yellowjackets—from the National Book Award &“5 Under 35&” honoree and author of Bestiary &“Wise, energetic, funny, and wild, Gods of Want displays a boundless imagination anchored by the weight of ancestors and history.&”—Kali Fajardo-Anstine, author of Sabrina & Corina and Woman of LightIn &“Auntland,&” a steady stream of aunts adjust to American life by sneaking surreptitious kisses from women at temple, buying tubs of vanilla ice cream to prepare for citizenship tests, and hatching plans to name their daughters &“Dog.&” In &“The Chorus of Dead Cousins,&” ghost-cousins cross space, seas, and skies to haunt their live-cousin, wife to a storm chaser. In &“Xífù,&” a mother-in-law tortures a wife in increasingly unsuccessful attempts to rid the house of her. In &“Mariela,&” two girls explore one another&’s bodies for the first time in the belly of a plastic shark, while in &“Virginia Slims,&” a woman from a cigarette ad comes to life. And in &“Resident Aliens,&” a former slaughterhouse serves as a residence to a series of widows, each harboring her own calamitous secrets. With each tale, K-Ming Chang gives us her own take on a surrealism that mixes myth and migration, corporeality and ghostliness, queerness and the quotidian. Stunningly told in her feminist fabulist style, these are uncanny stories peeling back greater questions of power and memory.
