Requests:  0 Summary:  "A searingly honest and resonant debut from a Nigerian writer and queer liberation activist, exploring what love and freedom cost in a society steeped in homophobia. The inaugural title in the most buzzed-about new imprint of recent years, And Then He Sang a Lullaby is a powerful, luminous debut that establishes its young author as a masterful talent. August is a God-fearing track star who leaves Enugu City to attend university and escape his overbearing sisters. He carries the weight of their lofty expectations, the shame of facing himself, and the haunting memory of a mother he never knew. It's his first semester and pressures aside, August is making friends and doing well in his classes. He even almost has a girlfriend. There's only one problem: he can't stop thinking about Segun, an openly gay student who works at a local cybercafé. Segun carries his own burdens and has been wounded in too many ways. When he meets August, their connection is undeniable, but Segun is reluctant to open himself up to August. He wants to love and be loved by a man who is comfortable in his own skin, who will see and hold and love him, exactly as he is. Despite their differences, August and Segun forge a tender intimacy that defies the violence around them. But there is only so long Segun can stand being loved behind closed doors, while August lives a life beyond the world they've created together. And when a new, sweeping anti-gay law is passed, August and Segun must find a way for their love to survive in a Nigeria that was always determined to eradicate them. A tale of rare bravery and profound beauty, And Then He Sang a Lullaby is an extraordinary debut that marks Ani as a voice to watch"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Somtochukwu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Somtochukwu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Somtochukwu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Somtochukwu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Somtochukwu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
