Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor
Goodreads Blurb: The future of storytelling is here.
Life has thrown Zelu some curveballs over the years, but when she’s suddenly dropped from her university job and her latest novel is rejected, all in the middle of her sister’s wedding, her life is upended. Disabled, unemployed and from a nosy, high-achieving, judgmental family, she’s not sure what comes next.
In her hotel room that night, she takes the risk that will define her life – she decides to write a book VERY unlike her others. A science fiction drama about androids and AI after the extinction of humanity. And everything changes.
What follows is a tale of love and loss, fame and infamy, of extraordinary events in one world, and another. And as Zelu’s life evolves, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.
Because sometimes a story really does have the power to reshape the world.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Goodreads Review: This was an amazing tale of the deep moving forces of culture, family, and love spanning even into the world of robots. Plus the profound communication between an author and her characters – and that twist at the end, my God, you don’t see it coming. Either that or I’ve completely misunderstood the ending. Whatever the case, would recommend.
