Reviews

Don't be frightened by the title, Nnedi Okorafor is fine... and doing her best work yet. DEATH OF THE AUTHOR reads like three novels in one... or maybe four... about fame and family, culture and change, the power of story, the writer's life... and robots. This one has it all * George R.R. Martin * Nnedi Okorafor is so ferociously talented that we are starting to see she cannot be boxed into any category or genre. Her new, Death of the Author, is a deeply felt dazzle. A blaze. It is true deep to the bones * Luis Alberto Urrea Pulitzer Prize finalist and bestselling author of The House of Broken Angels * Connection is the heartbeat of Okorafor's work * New York Times * I was captivated by the story-and the many stories-within-the-story-of this ambitious, inventive tribute to the power of storytelling itself * Nikki Erlick, New York Times bestselling author of The Measure * Okorafor explores what it means to be human. . . . All-out Okorafor - her best yet * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) * Highly recommended for fans of Octavia Butler, Nicky Drayden, and Tade Thompson . . . will attract genre and literary fiction fans alike * Booklist (starred review) * Metafiction at its finest... equal parts sharp social commentary and deeply human storytelling * Readers Digest * An epic about love, friendship, and the cost of survival * Library Journal, starred review *
