We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo
4.0

Hmmm what to say about this? The plot is not really there, so much of it is cliched, sentence structure is all over the place and jarring, and she uses the phrase "things fall apart" about 20 times- no joke. But the voice is powerful, nihilistic and stays with you. What a voice. For that it gets a 3.4.
