The future of storytelling is here.

Life has thrown Zelu some curveballs over the years, but when she's suddenly dropped from her university job and her latest novel is rejected, all in the middle of her sister's wedding, her life is upended. Disabled, unemployed and from a nosy, high-achieving, judgmental family, she's not sure what comes next.

In her hotel room that night, she takes the risk that will define her life - she decides to write a book VERY unlike her others. A science fiction drama about androids and AI after the extinction of humanity. And everything changes.

What follows is a tale of love and loss, fame and infamy, of extraordinary events in one world, and another. And as Zelu's life evolves, the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.

Because sometimes a story really does have the power to reshape the world.

Nnedi Okorafor, a New York Times bestselling and award-winning author, presents a sweeping tale about family, culture and identity, and a breathtaking examination of the relationship between writer and reader . . . and robots. Death of the Author is heartfelt, tender, and an ambitious meta-drama about what makes us human.

Reseñas de la crítica

Don't be frightened by the title, Nnedi Okorafor is fine... and doing her best work yet. DEATH OF THE AUTHOR reads like three novels in one... or maybe four... about fame and family, culture and change, the power of story, the writer's life... and robots. This one has it all
Nnedi Okorafor is so ferociously talented that we are starting to see she cannot be boxed into any category or genre. Her new, Death of the Author, is a deeply felt dazzle. A blaze. It is true deep to the bones
Connection is the heartbeat of Okorafor's work
I was captivated by the story-and the many stories-within-the-story-of this ambitious, inventive tribute to the power of storytelling itself
Okorafor explores what it means to be human. . . . All-out Okorafor - her best yet
Highly recommended for fans of Octavia Butler, Nicky Drayden, and Tade Thompson . . . will attract genre and literary fiction fans alike
Metafiction at its finest . . . equal parts sharp social commentary and deeply human storytelling
An epic about love, friendship, and the cost of survival
Absolutely brilliant. My heart and guts are all turned inside out
