The Virgin of Flames
The Virgin of Flames (2007)
Chris Abani
"Chris Abani is a force of nature. In the world of letters he is a luminous shattering talent, and The Virgin of Flames is his strangest and wildest trip yet. I don't think there's ever been a protagonist quite like Black, or an LA quite like this one. "

Achy Obejas
