Kasim Ali recommends
And Then He Sang a Lullaby (2023)
Ani Kayode Somtochukwu
"A beautifully-drawn book, tender and moving. I adored being in the embrace of Segun and August, as they navigate the unaccepting world around them and their longing for one another. Ani Kayode Somtochukwu writes with an ease and a wisdom that belies his age. This is exactly the kind of writing that makes your heart soar and whimper in equal parts."
The Pachinko Parlour (2022)
Elisa Shua Dusapin
"A melancholic exploration of identity and belonging, The Pachinko Parlour is a beautifully told story of one woman trying to tether herself to something."
