"Obono's voice is assured and vital, and her tale of queer rebellion in Fang society is an exceptional take on the coming-of-age novel." --Publishers Weekly "An invaluable contribution to lesbian and gay literary culture." --Cheryl Clarke, author of Living as a Lesbian "A breakthrough novel that tells the world, from an Equatorial Guinean perspective, that there is so much necessary life outside of, beyond, before, and after patriarchy. For those of us who have been told that we do not exist. That we cannot exist. That we should not exist. This groundbreaking story full of love and nurturing is a spell for remembering that we do exist, we have existed, and that we must support each other to exist and thrive as who we are." --Alexis Pauline Gumbs, author of M Archive: After the End of the World "Though I live a world away from Equatorial Guinea, I saw so much of myself in Okomo: a tomboy itching to be free and to escape society's rigged game. I cheered her on with every page, and wished--for myself and all girls--for the bravery to create our own world." --Maggie Thrash, author of Honor Girl, Honor Book in the Global Literature in Libraries Best Translated YA Book Chosen for the American Library Association's Over the Rainbow List Chosen for the American Library Association's Rainbow Book List World Literature Today's Notable Translations of 2018 "Obono's voice is assured and vital, and her tale of queer rebellion in Fang society is an exceptional take on the coming-of-age novel." --Publishers Weekly "A unique contribution to LGBTQ literature." --Kirkus Reviews "A powerful exploration of culture and tradition." --Asymptote "The story will stay with you long after you've closed the book." --BUST Magazine "Compelling." --Lonely Planet "An invaluable contribution to lesbian and gay literary culture." --Cheryl Clarke, author of Living as a Lesbian "A breakthrough novel that tells the world, from an Equatorial Guinean perspective, that there is so much necessary life outside of, beyond, before, and after patriarchy.
