How to Make a Space Masquerade by Nwonwu, Mazi

Description

How to Make a Space Masquerade artfully blends speculative fiction with Igbo cosmology, seamlessly merging the earthly realm with a dystopian world. It explores the complexities of the human spirit and the intersection of the two worlds. A girl facing erasure for carrying a virus defies the government to save her life through a trial cure. A space engineer must explain the existence of his human love child resulting from a one-night stand with a robot. The twelve stories in this collection stretch the imagination and demand a review of our notions of self-discovery, human connection and traditions.
