Just look for "Premier Gaou" (stylized "1er Gaou"). Your life will afterwards be divided in two: "Before Premier Gaou" and "After Premier Gaou."

So, a lot has happened on the health front. No final answers yet, but what we've learned so far needs to be followed up, & fast. For that, I need at least $11,000 (to go to $55,000 overall) for blood tests, CT scans, consultant fees & more. Please donate & share!

Couple of my fave bits: "I like to think of character as arising first from place, before self-reflection and other externalities take hold." "What can I say about Ngozi? He’s a Nigerian man. Sometimes maybe nice, sometimes maybe shit."

If anything, I love that no two readers walk away from the book with the same description. Everyone emerges with their own angle, some I didn't even consider before. And I love that for us. I love that for SFF. Long live the weird, nebulous, indescribable books.

Lost Ark Dreaming has so far been described as a: - sci-fi dystopia - post-climate disaster hopepunk - high-octane thriller - locked-room horror - juxtaposition of Great Flood myths & Yoruba cosmology - scathing & poetic exploration of capitalism & colonization You know what? I'm not even mad!

In high towers in the sea in a flooded West Africa, the wealthy live on top; workers below—while the drowned seek vengeance on those who offered them up to the waves.

Happy book birthday to @suyidavies.com LOST ARK DREAMING 🥳🎂

And coming much sooner on May 21 is @suyidavies.com's next book, LOST ARK DREAMING. I heard "future flooded Lagos" and thought "take me there" - any alternate take Suyi wants to write about, I'm in, especially when it also centers myth and hope and how we shape them in the face of disaster.

Lately I've noticed a LOT of science fiction books that take place in a post-climate change future where a lucky few live in luxury and everyone else lives in the dirt. I've also noticed a lot of fantasy novels that lean into cozy sweetness. Five new books illustrate this perfectly!

That part about fast fashion and the propensity to put a troped-up book down as much as pick it up is something I've been mulling over for a while. Definitely downsides to the current approach.
