Nnedi Okorafor recommends
Swallow (2010)
Sefi Atta
"Sefi Atta has woven a quietly intricate powerful tale that pulls from problems of gender, class, and Lagosian life. It's a novel whose many colorful characters, compelling story, distinct place and turbulent time will stay with you long after you've read the last word."
The Last Gift of the Master Artists (2007)
Ben Okri
"Ben Okri is the most quotable writer of all time. Every line he writes effervesces with poetry, philosophy, and story. The Last Gift of the Master Artists is another testament to Okri's sublime brilliance."
