God's Children Are Little Broken Things
あらすじ・解説
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 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 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.
批評家のレビュー
"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 winner for The Promise )
"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)
"These are heartbreaking stories of love and loss.... Ifeakandu is a writer of lyricism and profundity at the beginning of a brilliant career." (Edmund White, author of A Saint from Texas)
