Death of the Author: A Novel | Nnedi Okorafor

Hi campers! It‘s your heat-intolerant counselor living in Kentucky! I hoped to post this earlier, but going out in the afternoon heat was brutal.

The chapter break for the July 5 discussion is the start of chapter 28 page 212 in my US hardcover. On July 12, we will discuss the second half/whole book!

Be sure to bring your bug spray and sunscreen. I‘ll provide the s‘mores! 🏕️🍫 #CampLitsy25

squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB

julieclair Still waiting for my library hold to come in, and it‘s not looking promising. At this rate, I may be camping in Winter. 😕 But it‘s nice to know the discussions will be here for me to read and comment whenever I‘m able to read it. 6h

sarahbarnes Thanks, Meg! I‘m going to skip this one as it isn‘t speaking to me, but I‘m already loving Woodworking and looking forward to that one later this month! 😀 4h

#JuneSpecials Day 28: Loads of #Foodie references in this novel which I thoroughly enjoyed reading - super want to taste jollof rice now! Finished it for #CampLitsy2025 and very much looking forward to the discussion. Some Dennys goodness while in ‘Murrica with family.

Eggs, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

ChaoticMissAdventures Jollof rice is super yummy!! If you don't have any West African restaurants near it isn't very hard to make (I say as someone who hates cooking). The key is the spices added before the rice cooks. But I always recommend a professional if possible 😀. There is a big debate throughout W. Africa of which country makes it best I personally cannot decide. 2d

Eggs Excellent 👌🏼 2d

BarbaraBB @ChaoticMissAdventures Great suggestion about the adding of the spices! I remember another book too about where the best Jollof comes from but I can‘t remember what book that is. 2d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Looks delicious 😋 1d

Another great and interesting #CampLitsy25 pick! Can‘t wait for our discussion as I loved the 2 story lines and the story within the story. On the surface it‘s about a struggling writer and family issues but I love the deeper societal commentary. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Megabooks, squirrelbrain, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB Yes another one which will be good to discuss! 2d

This cracked me up. I am as likely to fast as I would be to run. Now I know why I'm unmarried, I'm not trying hard enough 😂

Is this how we are going to spend the rest of our lives? Kudirat hiccupped.

'How else are we to live? We are expected to spend our entire lives dodging penises and drudgery. It's why we were born, what we were born to do. We are girls, we shall not be sexed!' That thought sobered them up faster than a bucket of cold water.

I really enjoyed this. She really knows how to tell a story, and her worldbuilding is always well done. I loved all of the underlying commentary regarding capitalism, colonization, and climate change. Though it wasn't really hidden at all. I liked this much more than Remote Control, but less than the Binti series. She is now an autobuy author for me.

Really liked this #CampLitsy25 book about a disabled Nigerian woman who writes a best-selling science fiction book. Mostly her point of view interspersed with chapters from her book, and the occasional voices of family members and her boyfriend. Did not see where this book was going, a total surprise. Very enjoyable!

@Reggie

squirrelbrain Great review - I‘ve only just started it! 2w

BarbaraBB I enjoyed this one too! Of course 👯 2w

Reggie I wanted to fight her family every time they had something to say. It was so frustrating. And then when she was almost kidnapped in Nigerian I thought the author was gonna kill her off. My shoulders were so high because I couldn‘t take it! lol And for some reason I cried like a baby with her going to space and the robots saving themselves and telling stories. Im so glad you liked it! 2w
