The nitty-gritty: A unique combination of sci-fi, folklore and coming-of-age, Remote Control is another atmospheric and thoughtful book by Nnedi Okorafor.  This is a strange little Africanfuturism story that I enjoyed a lot, and if you’re a fan of Nnedi Okorafor you will enjoy it too. Remote Control has science fiction elements, but as other […]

The nitty-gritty: P.

My heart sat high in my chest. I was more alive and more scared than I had been for years. Ahead of us, […]

The nitty-gritty: This short novella was disappointing, unfortunately, due to a disjointed plot and bland characters. I’m afraid this book just didn’t work for me at all, which is a shame because I loved the idea and I was looking forward to reading something from Jeffrey Ford. Unfortunately, this novella reads almost like a first […]
