Books containing stories by Alexia Arthurs
Alexia Arthurs recommends
God of Mercy (2021)
Okezie Nwọka
"God of Mercy is an elegantly written, morally rigorous exploration of tradition and belonging. Reminiscent of Toni Morrison's inventive language-making and Chinua Achebe's decolonizing legacy, Okezie Nwoka is a masterful storyteller, and a writer of unusual grace."
These Ghosts Are Family (2020)
Maisy Card
"Written with the brand of Jamaican humor I know and love, These Ghosts Are Family is a book I didn't know I needed to read, which might be the best kind of book. Maisy Card is a wonderful arrival for Caribbean literature."
