Awwww that’s a lovely thing to say. I’m hoping that one day I’ll get to chat to Akwaeke in real life, that’s my next Emezi goal. Lol.

So fascinating. Thank you for sharing on here. Their books are really special and intriguingly unflinching, and what a treat that they have books lined up for us for years to come! 🙌 Can’t wait to read Little Rot!!

Fantastic interview!!! I will be adding Little Rot to my TBR right away. I actually have quite a few of Akwaeke’s books on my Goodreads TBR, so I’m thinking I’m going to have to purchase them now.

Oooh I recommend you do. I think you’d really like You Made A Fool of Death with Your Beauty, that could be a good one to start with. It’s got SPICE.

Wonderful interview! I love how Emezi talks about their writing with a sense of discovery. Really great questions…insightful and thought provoking. Love this content! I haven’t read any of their books. What would you recommend as a first read?
@SavidgeReads Ай бұрын
They do have a fabulous way of talking about their writing. (Those are their pronouns.) I would start with maybe reading Pet… or The Death of Vivek Oji… or any of their books really, those would be my suggestions as good in’s to their work.
