Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor
3.75
My top genres are litfic and sci fi. So this book was a big win for me. It's about a paraplegic Nigerian American author who writes a hugely successful science fiction novel, and her celebrity status opens her up to interesting things that make her feel a bit like she's living in her own sci-fi novel.
There are alternating chapters from her perspective, from her novel, and from her family members giving interview style responses...
Some parts of the book did drag a bit for me here and there but the fun part about this more experimental form of storytelling is that as soon as you start getting bored, the perspective switches and things are interesting again.
I found the end of this book touching and surprising, in a great way! This was my first book from this author but certainly won't be my last.
