Currently reading Blackheart Man by @nalohop.bsky.social and I’m hooked this far. I’m slowly digesting this story cause I’m writing my observations like crazy! So many small things capturing me. I was hooked at the reference to Carenage Town! Love it!

Nnedi Okorafor | 'When something is really complicated, people want to simplify it so that it’s easier to digest and so that they can kind of control the narrative' Death of the Author explores how life and art intersect in a genre-defying tale.

An interview in The Bookseller about DEATH OF THE AUTHOR

"Part SFF, part literary fiction, part family saga and part diasporic tale, the novel defies labelling."

Also, I explain the title a bit more (outside of the Barthes reference).

Reading the Caribbean means you read the world.

I'm reflecting on what this mantra of mine means, especially now, when so many Caribbean writers occupy global favour.

If we ever fall out of it, I want us to remember we are the centre of our worlds. We reside within us, and have always made story.
