love Black African futurisms and such an interesting way to learn about emancipation allowing a furthering of pan-African exploitation. author of this section gorgeously writes about historical Nigeria and Nigerian indigenous identity

all i am thinking is that if the story ends up being amazing then i will staff-pick it and whomever reads it due to my endorsement of the story will be immediately met with several graphic descriptions of oral sex in the first pages and think « urooba what is wrong with you ». i am trying to tough through it but it is not my vibe (unless, again, it was wlw)

they turned off the airplane lights so i had to eep instead :(( also this book is written so beautifully but at the same time this woman in front of me was yelling @ the flight attendants to change the temp of the entire plane?? it’s midnight and you are in the sky, like ma’am, it WILL be cold. anyways i wish i could’ve enjoyed the storytelling without miss platinum-blonde-bob screeching in the background

“These kinds of questions will arise in your mind and hang there, like the smell in the house you will never quite get used to, like old dusty clothes, and like garlic and lemon. Like other people. It will feel for months like you are spending the night in someone else's house under suspicious circumstances. Like you don't belong.
Tell yourself you do belong.
Tell the apartment.”

“Before we were released from the prison-castle, a man came to measure our heads, to make masks of us, molds of our heads with white liquid. He called them life masks. The man wanted to compare Indian heads with white heads. He thought if Indian heads were smaller that could explain why we were savages. I wondered if it was death the man meant by life masks. Maybe I was being turned into a thing for them to keep”
