No One Dies Yet

By Kobby Ben Ben

Book Overview

A genre-breaking novel from a powerful new African voice

It is 2019, The Year of Return. Ghana is inviting Black diasporans to return and get to know the land of their enslaved ancestors. Elton, Vincent, and Scott arrive from America to explore Ghana's colonial past, and to experience the country's underground queer scene. Their visit and activities are narrated by two very different Ghanians: the exuberant and rebellious Kobby, who is their guide to Accra's privileged and queer circles; and Nana, the voice of tradition and religious principle. Neither is very trustworthy and the tense relationship between them sets the tone for what turns into a gripping, energetically told, and often funny tale of murder reminiscent of the novels of Patricia Highsmith, Graham Greene, Chinua Achebe, and Alain Mabanckou.

Must Read

This is one of the best books ive ever read by far. It is so complex on every level, to the point where you’re questioning the author’s involvement in said “fictional” story. “Truth” eludes the whole thing. I don’t think i can even go into all of it but it just took over my whole reading schedule until i finished it lol, it’s about a group of friends from the states on a heritage trip to Ghana and the two different Ghanaians who are showing them around (and their conflicting personalities) and its really like a fever dream i was so unnerved the whole time. It would make an incredible horror movie or thriller. It definitely became a little confusing at the end but nothing that you can’t figure out if you concentrate. Read this book!!
