By: Uchenna AwokeA Nigerian Catcher in the Rye, Uchenna Awoke’s masterful debut breaks the silence about a hidden and dangerous contemporary caste system.
Fifteen-year-old Dimkpa dreams of the day his father will be made village head. He will return to school and maybe even go on to university; his mother will no longer have to break her back foraging wild food to sell at market; they will have the money to build a fine tomb for his aunt Okike; and his family’s status as ohu ma, the lowest Igbo caste, won’t matter anymore. But when his father is passed over for a younger man, breaking tradition, Dimkpa realises that he must make his own fate.
Journeying from his small village in rural Nigeria, to Lagos, Awka, and home again, Dimkpa learns that no money is easy money, that superstition runs deep, that knowledge is power, and that sometimes it is better to live in the present than always be chasing a future just out of reach.
The Liquid Eye of a Moon is by turns hilarious and poignant, capturing all the messiness of adolescence, and the difficulty of making your own way in a world that seeks to oppress you.
- A lyrical, yet very funny, Nigerian coming-of-age story for readers of The Girl with the Louding Voice, We Need New Names, and The Five Sorrowful Mysteries of Andy Africa.
- Uchenna Awoke is set to become a superstar of African literature, with several fellowships and prizes under his belt. His debut novel will be supported by major publicity and marketing campaigns in the UK (Scribe) and US (Catapult), and there is already international buzz for it.
