A Good Morning America Buzz PickINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"Electrifying." — O: The Oprah Magazine Named a Best Book of 2020 by The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, USA TODAY, Vanity Fair, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, Shondaland, Teen Vogue, Vulture, Lit Hub, Bustle, Electric Literature, and BookPageWhat does it mean for a family to lose a child they never really knew? One afternoon, in a town in southeastern Nigeria, a mother opens her front door to discover her son’s body, wrapped in colorful fabric, at her feet. What follows is the tumultuous, heart-wrenching story of one family’s struggle to understand a child whose spirit is both gentle and mysterious. Raised by a distant father and an understanding but overprotective mother, Vivek suffers disorienting blackouts, moments of disconnection between self and surroundings. As adolescence gives way to adulthood, Vivek finds solace in friendships with the warm, boisterous daughters of the Nigerwives, foreign-born women married to Nigerian men. But Vivek’s closest bond is with Osita, the worldly, high-spirited cousin whose teasing confidence masks a guarded private life. As their relationship deepens—and Osita struggles to understand Vivek’s escalating crisis—the mystery gives way to a heart-stopping act of violence in a moment of exhilarating freedom. Propulsively readable, teeming with unforgettable characters, The Death of Vivek Oji is a novel of family and friendship that challenges expectations—a dramatic story of loss and transcendence that will move every reader.

"Lika briljant som den är hjärtekrossande." MARIE CLAIRE
Ngwa, Nigeria. En eftermiddag hittas Vivek Ojis döda kropp utanför hans hem, insvept i ett färgglatt tygstycke. Med tiden förstår de förkrossade föräldrarna att deras son, som de kände som introvert och skör, var en helt annan människa bakom lyckta dörrar. Genom hans vänners berättelser framträder en frisinnad person full av liv, och bit för bit avtäcks hemligheterna om hans liv och död.
Vivek Ojis död är en hjärtskärande roman om vänskap, passion och kärlek och om en ung människa som inte ryms inom sitt samhälles trånga ramar.
AKWAEKE EMEZI (f. 1987) växte upp i Aba i Nigeria med en nigeriansk far och en mor från Malaysia, men bor numera i New Orleans i USA. Debutromanen Sötvatten innebär ett stort genombrott i den engelskspråkiga världen och produceras nu som TV-serie. Emezi har genom sitt författarskap blivit en ikon i queer- och transkretsar och har förekommit på omslaget till stora magasin som Time och Vogue. Hen har också givit ut två ungdomsromaner, en memoar och en diktsamling och tagit emot ett flertal priser. Vivek Ojis död är hens andra roman.
HELENA HANSSON har översatt en lång rad författare från Afrika, däribland 2021 års Nobelpristagare Abdulrazak Gurnah. För sin översättning av Sötvatten var hon finalist till priset Årets översättning.
"En bländande, förkrossande historia ... Ett pussel inslaget i ett vackert språk, som väcker frågor om identitet och lojalitet som är lika omöjliga att besvara som de är viktiga att ställa. NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
"Emezi uppmanar oss återigen att omfamna ett vidare spektrum av den mänskliga erfarenheten." WASHINGTON POST
"Vivek blir mer levande för varje sida som går. Han strålar som solen, omöjlig att stirra rakt in i men samtidigt alldeles oemotståndlig. Jag saknade honom när romanen tog slut. NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO, USA

The one and only Akwaeke Emezi is back with a breathtaking, sexy and out-of-this world page-turner that will blow away their fans. Son of the Morning weaves together Southern folklore and magic with Akwaeke Emezi's own remarkable brand of bold, Black-centered fantasy and romance.Galilee, Gali for short, has been raised by a formidable clan of women, the Kincaids, in the American South. Growing up, there was always something different about Gali, but it's a secret that her family of women has never shared with her. Gali assumes that it will always be like this, living with an ache and emptiness inside her, never finding something full enough to fill that hollow...Until, that is, she meets Lucifer Helel. He's supposedly the head of security for her wealthy friend Oriaku's family, but he is far too beautiful to be the mere mortal that he appears. From the moment they lay eyes on each other, both of them know: the other one is not human. Their lives are going to change forever - and for eternity, threatening everyone around them: Gali's family, her friends, and perhaps the whole world, after their heated first encounter threatens the very foundations of Heaven and Hell.

From New York Times bestselling author Akwaeke Emezi comes a steamy paranormal romance set in the Black South--a bold new foray that takes us on a journey of magic and fantasy, from the whispering creeks outside the city of Salvation to the very depths of Hell itself
Tenderhearted Galilee was raised by the Kincaids, a formidable clan of Black women sequestered deep in the weeping willows and dark rushing creeks of their land. Galilee has always known that she's different--that there is an old and unknowable secret around her very existence. It has been a hollow ache inside her since her childhood, something she assumes she will always have to live with.
Until she meets Lucifer Helel. He's fronting as the head of security for her wealthy friend Oriaku's family, protecting a mysterious, ancient artifact, but from the moment she lays eyes on him, Gali knows he's not human. From her first incendiary touch, Lucifer knows something even Gali herself doesn't--that she isn't human either.
Enter: Leviathan. As Lucifer's most trusted prince of Hell, Levi is ruthless and determined to eliminate the intolerable danger that is Galilee before she brings death and disaster to those he loves. While unseen battles rage between Hell, Heaven, and earth, Lucifer and Galilee's attraction threatens to bring all the structures of their existence crashing down around them.7
Soon, loyalties will be shattered and reformed as Kincaid secrets clash with the princes of Hell, driving even the most powerful to their knees. Galilee Kincaid must decide if she will step into herself and embrace the consequences of power in this astonishing, seductive, and wildly original fantasy.
