Description
Losing the Plot by Derek Owusu offers a powerful portrayal of a mother-son relationship, exploring the complexities of displacement and identity. Through the eyes of both characters, Owusu delves into the immigrant experience, examining how stories we share and tell ourselves are just as vital as those we don't. The novel is driven by a deep-seated desire to understand his mother's life before he was born, weaving together a narrative that is at once emotionally raw and playful. As the effects of her displacement ripple across generations, Owusu experiments with form to piece together the immigrant experience. A richly written exploration of family life, identity, and belonging, Losing the Plot is a thought-provoking and deeply human story.
