The Five Sorrowful Mysteries Of Andy Africa by Stephen Buoro
A sharp, funny coming-of-age story set in northern Nigeria, it follows a brilliant teenage math whiz obsessed with Western pop culture as he grapples with identity, desire, faith, and the legacies of colonialism. While navigating his single mother’s secrets, a risky crush, and shifting friendships, his exuberant voice—mixing slang, equations, and satire—meets the grim realities of religious tension and violence. As fantasy collides with hardship, he is forced to reckon with where he comes from and the future he hopes to claim.
