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, <i>Death of the Author</i>, 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
