No Heaven for Good Boys
by Keisha Bush
A strong and heartbreaking narrative on the Talibé boys in Senegal.
No Heaven for Good Boys creates seamless imagery of traditions, family, culture and brings you into the hard life of the Talibé with such power that will leave you bothered even after finishing the novel. Aside from the story itself, the surreal symbolism created during their dreams is so well-written, there are moments I don't realize how long I've been holding my breath.
On a more personal note, as someone from a developing country, this story hits quite close to home and instilled more empathy and courage for me.
