Uzodinma Iweala writes fiction and non-fiction about war, sexuality, identity and social pressure in African and diasporic settings. Beasts of No Nation follows Agu, a child recruited into an armed group during an unnamed West African conflict, using a compressed first-person voice to show violence and indoctrination from inside the boy's experience. Speak No Evil centres on a Nigerian American teenager in Washington, DC, whose sexuality brings him into conflict with family and faith. Iweala's prose is intense, close and voice-driven rather than explanatory, often placing readers inside morally difficult situations without easy resolution. His work fits African fiction, war fiction, LGBTQ+ literary fiction and coming-of-age novels. Read more Less
