God's Children Are Little Broken Things by Arinze Ifeakandu

A collection of intimate short stories set in contemporary Nigeria and its diaspora, this work follows queer men as they navigate clandestine love, family expectations, faith, and the dangers of visibility in a homophobic society. With tender attention to everyday textures, the narratives trace first love and heartbreak, the costs of secrecy and courage, and the complex intersections of class and power, revealing how small acts of care and moments of connection offer solace amid loneliness and fear.
