Dear Senthuran by Akwaeke Emezi

Dear Senthuran by Akwaeke Emezi

A full-throated and provocative memoir in letters from the New York Times-bestselling author, a dazzling literary talent whose works cut to the quick of the spiritual self (Esquire).

In three critically acclaimed novels, Akwaeke Emezi has introduced readers to a landscape marked by familial tensions, Igbo belief systems, and a boundless search for what it means to be free. Now, in this extraordinary memoir, the bestselling author of The Death of Vivek Oji reveals the harrowing yet resolute truths of their own life. Through candid, intimate correspondence with friends, lovers, and family, Emezi traces the unfolding of a self and the unforgettable journey of a creative spirit stepping into power in the human world. Their story weaves through transformative decisions about their gender and body, their precipitous path to success as a writer, and the turmoil of relationships on an emotional, romantic, and spiritual plane, culminating in a book that is as tender as it is brutal.

Electrifying and inspiring, animated by the same voracious intelligence that distinguishes their fiction, Dear Senthuran is a revelatory account of storytelling, self, and survival.

In the inaugural Make Me a World list, Akwaeke Emezi makes their young adult debut with Pet. Akwaeke's adult debut, Freshwater, was named to the National Book Foundation's 5 Under 35 list, was a long-list nominee for the Carnegie Medal for Excellence, and was a short-list nominee for the Center for Fiction's First Novel Award. The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the New Yorker, and the Los Angeles Times, among others, praised the autobiographical novel, which also garnered starred ratings from Library Journal and Booklist. The Death of Vivek Oji, their sophomore adult novel, will be published by Riverhead in 2020. For more information, visit Akwaeke.com or follow them on Twitter at @azemezi.
