FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

'A masterwork of the form . . . mesmerizing.' New York Times
'A fun, sexy, dangerous, dark thriller about corruption.' Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
'A dazzling literary talent.' Esquire

Akwaeke Emezi's exhilarating new novel follows five people over the course of a weekend which will brutally upend all of their lives.

As Kalu drops Aima at the airport, it marks the end of their four-year relationship. Shattered and broken open, he thinks that's the last he will see of his ex-girlfriend. But, reeling from the breakup, both Aima and Kalu find themselves drawn back to Lagos: to separate nights of decadence. When Kalu visits an exclusive sex party hosted by his best friend, Ahmed, he makes a decision that will plunge them all into chaos.

On the other side of town, Ola and Souraya, fresh off their first-class flight from Kuala Lumpur, are getting ready for their own nights of pleasure, unaware that everything is about to go awry. Pulled into a whirlwind descent through the city's corrupt and glittering underworld, they're all looking for a way out, fueled by a desperate need to escape the threat that looms over them.
 
 

Review

A sort of fun, sexy, dangerous, dark thriller about corruption, told with beautiful style and a literary eye. -- Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

There's an art to depicting things going seriously wrong very quickly, and Little Rot is a masterwork of the form [...] Emezi . . . has a gift for melding polished prose with the delectable urgency of a page-turner. [...] the stomach-turning and dramatically perfect final twist that drags even the reader into complicity. We come away troubled, unsettled - and in some subtle way changed. - New York Times

Emezi is renowned for their haunting and magnificent prose, and Little Rot is no different . . . With an almost surreal narrative confronting societal decay and personal rebirth, Emezi's signature lyricism and profound character insights are on full display, creating an immersive and thought-provoking experience. Little Rot further cements Emezi's place as a master of blending the mystical with the everyday, making it a must-read for fans and newcomers alike. - Glamou
