Book Details

What makes a family? How is it defined and by whom? Across Lagos, a rolling cast of unforgettable characters seek out love in all its forms, daring to push all other relationships – with partners, relatives and friends – to the brink in the process. Stubbornly alive and brazenly flawed, they work to establish themselves in the worlds of art, music, entertainment and creativity in the city, all while reckoning with desire, fear, death and God. To build a queer community, they must all grapple with the necessary fictions that they carry for survival.
