To my knowledge, Sandra Lindow's "Nnedi Okorafor: Magic, Myth, Morality and the Future" is the first book that focuses exclusively on Nnedi Okorafor, PhD🕷️'s canon. Here's my review: depauw.edu/sfs/birs/bir15…

My review of Nikhil Singh ‘Dakini Atoll’ is out in Locus Magazine ! See below 👇🏽

Here's a link to a review I wrote and 'Mothersound: The Sauutiverse Anthology' edited by Wole Talabi (CONVERGENCE PROBLEMS out now) journals.uj.ac.za/index.php/The_…

Read Nedine Moonsamy's review of "Mothersound" 👀📖❤️🚀 "Mothersound translates pluriversal thinking into method as the Sauútiverse is a shared and open world, and only exists through collaborative worldbuilding." journals.uj.ac.za/index.php/The_…

“DAKINI ATOLL reimagines the world in ways where we begin to see much of our present-day attachments and allegiances as a fleeting condition that is bound to be rendered old-fashioned in worlds to come.” Nedine Moonsamy reviews Club de Fans Ded .bsky.social locusmag.com/2024/10/dakini…

"N|uu is more than a language it is a bridge between our hearts and the past." Lorato Trok reads from her book Golden Girl: The Story of Katrina Esau #AWWS2024
