In her brilliantly inventive debut collection, Vanessa Onwuemezi takes readers
on a surreal and haunting journey through a landscape on the edge of time. At
the border with another world, a line of people wait for the gates to open; on
the floor of a lonely room, a Born Winner runs through his life's achievements
and losses; in a suburban garden, a man witnesses a murder that pushes him out
into the community. Struggling to realize the human ideals of love and freedom,
the characters of Dark Neighbourhood roam instead the depths of alienation, loss
and shame. With a detached eye and hallucinatory vision, they observe their own
worlds as the line between dream and reality dissolves and they themselves begin
to fragment. Electrifying and heady, and written with a masterful lyrical
precision, Dark Neighbourhood heralds the arrival of a strikingly original new
voice in fiction.
'Onwuemezi's writing is a breath of fresh air. This collection is a marvel.'
