Description

Elegant and powerful prose defines Uzodinma Iweala's novel about two young men struggling to reconcile their desires with the expectations that surround them. On the surface, Niru appears to have it all - a charmed life in Washington, DC - but beneath this façade lies a painful secret: he is queer. As his world begins to unravel, Niru finds himself speeding towards a future more violent and senseless than he can imagine. His best friend, Meredith, struggles to cope with her own troubles, leaving her little emotional support for him. The novel explores the power of words and self-identification, highlighting who gets to speak and who has the power to speak for others. Through its thought-provoking themes and nuanced characters, Speak No Evil sheds light on the complexities of identity, expectation, and the devastating consequences that can follow when these collide.
