LITTLE ROT by Akwaeke Emezi, read by Adepero Oduye, Chukwudi Iwuji


Listen Later

Adepero Oduye and Chukwudi Iwuji perform Akwaeke Emezi’s novel told by a group of characters who are all connected by the events of a single night. AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester tells host Jo Reed about what she describes as one of the most whirlwind stories she’s listened to all year. In an unnamed city in Nigeria, Kalu attends a sex party to help him forget that his girlfriend, Aima, has just left him. But everything goes wrong, and Kalu finds himself sucked into the city’s seedy underbelly with no way out. The narrators work together to draw listeners in with the emotional depth of their performances.
