Nigerian Speculative Fiction: The Evolution (Studies in Global Genre Fiction)
by Chukwunonso EzeiyokeThis book is an exciting addition to a gap in non-Western genre studies of African fiction. It challenges the dominant canonicity of African literature, which is overshadowed by texts concerned with the colonial discourse and ‘writing back’ while exploring speculative themes in Nigerian fiction and writing that stem from an African cosmology and culture.The book examines important twentieth-century precursors of the post-millennial ‘boom’ in Nigerian Speculative Fiction (SF), reading texts that were omitted from the Nigerian literary canon developed in the 1960s. It combines an analysis of recent fiction and criticism with a historical overview of the development of the under-researched area of Nigerian SF. Through these readings, the author demonstrates the range of concerns explored by Nigerian SF including futurism, posthumanism, horror, fantasy, and science fiction, among others. This book argues that these narratives exceed the binary implicitly sustained by the texts that write back to the West and o-ers new readings of contemporary Nigerian SF; works that imagine futures di-erent from the past and present conditions imposed by capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism.Providing new theoretical tools and concepts, this book in the Studies in Global Genre Fiction series will be of interest to readers and scholars working in the fields of African studies, African culture and society, literature and language, interdisciplinary literary studies, area studies, literary criticism, and genre studies.

The Night
by Rodrigo Blanco CalderonFor readers who love Bolaño, a new voice of Latin American fiction, winner of the Mario Vargas Llosa Prize.Recurring blackouts envelop Caracas in an inescapable darkness that makes nightmares come true. Real and fictional characters, most of them are writers, exchange the role of narrator in this polyphonic novel. They recount contradictory versions of the plot, a series of femicides that began with the energy crisis. The central narrator is a psychiatrist who manipulates the accounts of his friend, an author writing a book titled The Night; and his patient, an advertising executive obsessed with understanding the world through word puzzles. The author shifts between crime fiction and metafiction, cautioning readers that the events retold are both true and manipulated. This is a political novel about the financial crisis and socio-political division in Venezuela from 2008 to 2010. The title of the book, originally also in English, is a gesture towards Chavism's failure to resist US influence. Yet, the form is unapologetically literary, a reflection on the depiction and distortion of reality through storytelling. Blanco Calderón said about the potential of language, "I am convinced that all the evil in the world begins in them: in words" (Caracas, 2010).
