Inspirandu-se din mitologia nigeriana, intr-un stil cand colocvial, intim, senzual, cand poetic, incantatoriu, Emezi transforma intregul roman intr-o camera de marmura, in care rasuna memorabil vocile acestor zei sangerosi, in cautare de teritorii umane demne de locuit. Ca artist video, Emezi a luat o bursa Global Arts Fund in 2017, iar proiectul sau The Unblinding a ramas accesibil publicului in Harlem, din 2016 pana in prezent.Lista premiilor si a nominalizarilor:- A National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" Honoree- Shortlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize- A New York Times Notable Book- Named a Best Book of the Year by the New Yorker, BuzzFeed, Literary Hub, Amazon, NPR, Chicago Public Library, Electric Literature, Bustle, Refinery29, Entropy, BookPage, Shelf Awareness, and Globe and Mail- Named a Best Debut Novel of 2018 by Entertainment Weekly- Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal- Longlisted for the Apsen Words Literary Prize- Longlisted for the Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize- A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice- A New York Times Book Review Paperback Row Selection- An Amazon Top 10 Book Pick (February 2018)"Un roman de debut remarcabil, care interogheaza puternic paradigma occidentala a bolii psihice, oferind o perspectiva complet diferita.
