What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky

This debut collection explores the complex ties that bind us to our loved ones and places. A woman creates a child out of hair with unsettling results, while a teenager's night out leads to an uneasy connection with her Nigerian cousin. A haunting tale follows three generations of women affected by war, and a father struggles to protect his daughter. The title story brings us to a world ravaged by flood and class division, where experts have found a way to "fix the equation of a person" with unforeseen consequences. Playful, subversive, and deeply human, this collection announces a prodigious new talent.
