"2019, The Year of Return. It has been exactly 400 years since the first slave ships left Ghana for America. Ghana has now opened its doors to Black diasporans, encouraging them to return and get to know the land of their ancestors. Elton, Vincent, and Scott arrive from America to visit preserved sites from the transatlantic slave route, and to explore the country's underground queer scene. Their activities are narrated by their two combative guides: Kobby, their way into Accra's privileged circles; and Nana, the voice of tradition and religious principle. The pair's tense relationship sets the tone for what becomes a shocking and unsettling tale of murder that is at times funny, at times erotic, yet always outspoken and iconoclastic"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The presentation was too artsy fartsy at times which resulted in drowning out the story in general.
I'm still trying to figure out why the margins all of a sudden were on the opposite side, if someone can enlighten me, I'd be much obliged. It 's not inner monologue, if it was, it wasn't consistent, so what was the point of that?
Coming back to the story, which was entertaining. It is not your usual murder mystery, which made it quite refreshing.
I won't say anything about the subplot, that's not really my place, but it was interesting to hear about the different perspectives.
On the other hand it was at time hard to follow, when the narrator for example slipped into a hallucinating kind of state and then all of a sudden we are at a total different place with a fair amount of time passed.
Overall, if Kobby Ben Ben would have toned down the artsyness by half and let the story speak more for itself (which really was more than good enough to carry the book by its own) it would have been a more enjoyable read all together. (
