Sidik Fofana recommends
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."
Weird Black Girls (2024)
Elwin Cotman
"Homeboy can write. There's absolutely no doubt about that. And not afraid to nerd out either. With Weird Black Girls, Cotman stellarly bursts open the thread of Black space in fiction. A landmark collection!"
A Kind of Madness (2024)
Uche Okonkwo
"Touched my heart. Uche Okonkwo's stories are among the very best."
