Sidik Fofana recommends
Sky Full of Elephants (2024)
Cebo Campbell
"At the heart of this post-racial apocalyptic world is the tender story of a father and daughter coming to grips with their ever-evolving connection in the midst of great upheaval. Campbell plays his notes with majestic care and the result is something completely woke and utterly satisfying. An extraordinary feat!"
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!"
