Sidik Fofana recommends
Ghost Fish (2025)
Stuart Pennebaker
"For all those wistful fresh-eyed girls trying to find their way in that big rotten apple, Stuart Pennebaker has written the anthem! Ghost Fish demands your utmost empathy as we follow Alison in the city of dreams, a newbie restaurant hostess and lonely heart navigating sketchy dates and striving for reinvention. All while her reincarnated sister-fish shakes her fin! I devoured this whole book in a weekend. It is spooky, heartfelt, tender, and above all, never afraid to go there."
Sky Full of Elephants (2024)
Cebo Campbell
"At the heart of this post-racial apocalyptic world is the tender story of a father and daughter coming to grips with their ever-evolving connection in the midst of great upheaval. Campbell plays his notes with majestic care and the result is something completely woke and utterly satisfying. An extraordinary feat!"
Land of No Regrets (2024)
Sadi Muktadir
"Bold, compelling, and deliciously carefree, Land of No Regrets flavorfully weaves the rhythms of hip-hop slang and Arabic with that fun universal language of childhood mischief."
