Being gay is illegal in Nigeria. Arinze Ifeakandu‘s collection of tender stories shows the effect of enforced secrecy on the lives of gay men there. In vivid, emotional scenes that are like acts from longer plays, we get to know men of various ages and cultural backgrounds—Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa; Christian and Muslim. Audiobook performance by Mirron Willis is perfect. #LGBTQ

I am late to the party, just now having finished Akinze Ifeakandu‘s award-winning debut.

“…he‘d not expected Hausa to be, for this man, a language of tenderness, he‘d expected it to be a language for business, a language to be used and discarded and reused.”
