Uwem Akpan's Say You're One of Them

I've come across a new book that's worth picking up and diving into during your summer break, at the pool, the Hamptons, or in your house or apartment. The five short stories collection by Nigerian author Uwem Akpan's Say You're One of Them are told from the prespective of African children facing genocide, child prostitution, glue-sniffing and poverty.

The collections are set in Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Nigeria.



Say You're One of Them is Uwem Akpan's debut novel. To read Publisher's Weekly Q&A interview with Uwem Akpan, visit PublishersWeekly.com.
