An impressive American debut!" -- TananariveDue , American Book Award winner "Get ready for strange truths writtenin pure, powerful words. Frightened and curious, hopeful andbrave, the heroes of Dila's stories lead his readers through razorsharp dangers to the rewards gleaming at every one of his stories'surprising and satisfying ends. From sheer delight in thefuturistic flight of Ugandan ornithopters, to sweetly nasty certaintyas to the alien identity of the "savages" bedeviling cluelesswhite colonizers, Dila delivers pleasure after pleasure to mindseager for fiction's freshest glories." -- Nisi Shawl , award-winning editor of New Suns and author of Everfair "A book filled with spirits,monsters, resource wars, techno organic horrors, trans dimensionalbeings, wondrous machines, and so much more. Where Rivers Go toDie reads like literary episodes of Love, Death, andRobots meets Black Mirror , doused in African fantasy,folklore, and futurism. Dilman Dila shines here as one of the mostcreative storytellers of our age, weaving together an impressive setof imaginative, character driven, and reality-bending tales examiningissues of everyday life, gender, spiritualism, politics, war, andexploitation through the lens of the strange, the bizarre, and theotherworldly. The genre needs more like this!" -- P.Djèlí Clark , author of A Master of Djinn and Ring Shout "Dilman Dila deals in dualities.This collection by one of Africa's most consistentspeculative fiction authors is an excellent showcase of hisability to defy genre and effortlessly blend superstition andscience, fear and fascination, reality and unreality, uniqueness anduniversality, into wonderful, exciting stories steeped in culture.Full of immersive worldbuilding and a persistent horror sensibilityrendered in sharp, efficient prose, Where Rivers Go toDie is a highly enjoyable read." -- WoleTalabi , award-winning author of Incomplete Solutions andeditor of Africanfuturism:An Anthology. ''Dilman Dila is a well-establishedfigure in the African Speculative scene. His various disciplines-film-making, animation, writing etc - inform all aspects of his workholistically. Among the results are thoughtful, deep-reaching tales,constructed upon a firmament of rounded research and experientialdetail. His sparse, journalistic style amplifies the strangeness ofhis narratives and at times his voice resembles a slightlysupernatural Hemingway.'" -- Nikhil Singh , author of Taty WentWest and Club Ded, "The stories of Dilman Dila leapfrom the page and grab you by the throat with intrigue and urgentimagination.

Every tale thins the border between the is and the could-be: boosted by straospheric imagination while grounding you in the concerns of the contemporary African. I never pass up an opportunity to read a Dilman Dila story." -- Suyi Davies Okungbowa, author of Son of the Storm "Dilman Dila deals in dualities.This collection by one of Africa's most consistentspeculative fiction authors is an excellent showcase of hisability to defy genre and effortlessly blend superstition andscience, fear and fascination, reality and unreality, uniqueness anduniversality, into wonderful, exciting stories steeped in culture.Full of immersive worldbuilding and a persistent horror sensibilityrendered in sharp, efficient prose, Where Rivers Go toDie is a highly enjoyable read." -- WoleTalabi , award-winning author of Incomplete Solutions andeditor of Africanfuturism:An Anthology.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
