PRAISE FOR BINTI: HOME
"Nnedi Okorafor writes glorious futures and fabulous fantasies. Her
worlds open your mind to new things, always rooted in the red clay
of reality. Prepare to fall in love with Binti." --Neil Gaiman, New
York Times bestselling author of American Gods "Binti: Home is a
rich, complex story of identity, family, and friendship. It's the
rare sequel that exceeds the expectations set by the first--a
futuristic story that is nonetheless vivid, emotional, and
timeless." --Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
the Divergent series "Okorafor's writing is even more beautiful
than I remember it being in Binti, evocative and sharply elegant in
its economy." --NPR "[Binti: Home] opens up Binti's tale in
astonishing ways, while provocatively exploring questions of
identity and kinship." --The Chicago Tribune PRAISE FOR BINTI AND
NNEDI OKORAFOR "Okorafor's writing is wonderful, and the details of
her world-building -- including Binti's rich culture of origin,
living spaceships, and maths that reads almost like music -- are
complex and fascinating" --Veronica Roth "Binti is a supreme read
about a sexy, edgy Afropolitan in space! It's a wondrous
combination of extra-terrestrial adventure and age-old African
diplomacy. Unforgettable!"--Wanuri Kahiu, award winning Kenyan film
director of Pumzi and From a Whisper "There's more vivid
imagination in a page of Nnedi Okorafor's work than in whole
volumes of ordinary fantasy epics." -- Ursula Le Guin "Okorafor's
impressive inventiveness never flags." -- Gary K. Wolfe on Lagoon
