Lagos Will Be Hard For You is a contemporary collection of short stories, set between Nigeria and the US, which explores the constant straddling of two worlds: the need to make sense of home, and the weight of being lost and out of place in a new world.

An almost-blind mother pawns her daughter off to save her. A grieving son must bury his Muslim father in twenty-four hours in the thick of winter. Domi(natrix) wants to give life to her sexual kinks in her repressive household. The weight of the word “slave” is put to the test during a first date in conservative Idaho. A doctor battles to save her partner from himself. Desperation makes a young businesswoman seek out a spiritual experience. Two men kidnap a White man to fight the infiltration of oil companies in Southern Nigeria. A boy escapes his bipolar mother. These stories are an excavation of what it means to be at the labyrinthine crossroads of desire, ambition, and tradition.

Coming to the UK/Commonwealth soon.
