This book cover is for Binti by Nnedi Okorafor, a Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novella. The central image is a close-up of a young woman’s face, partially obscured by elongated, dark brown fingers coated with thick, vivid orange clay. The woman’s expression is calm and intense, her lips slightly parted and her eyes partially closed. Her skin is smooth and dark, and her face is illuminated by a soft, diffused light that highlights her features against a black background speckled with faint stars, suggesting outer space. The title BINTI is centered at the bottom in large, metallic, futuristic typography that resembles steel or chrome. The author’s name, "Nnedi Okorafor," appears just below in a clean white font. Above the title, a banner reads: “Hugo and Nebula Award-Winner!” in small white uppercase letters. Below the author’s name, there is a quote from Ursula K. Le Guin in white text: “There’s more vivid imagination in a page of Nnedi Okorafor’s work than in whole volumes of ordinary fantasy epics.” This endorsement connects the book to established speculative fiction traditions while highlighting its originality. The overall design emphasizes the blending of science fiction and African cultural aesthetics, particularly the orange clay, which references the Himba people’s traditional use of otjize. The use of space elements and earthy textures visually represents the novel’s fusion of interstellar travel with deeply rooted cultural identity.

There are SO many amazing #DiverseWriters! Check out #MoonOfTheCrustedSnow by #WabgeshigRice and #Noor by #NnediOkorafor for starters. Following the murder of #GeorgeFloyd, I made it a goal that 1/2 my reading would be by writers with a different ethnocultural or gender/sexual identity to mine. It's turned out to be more like 75%. Super interesting. Also, there are MANY Japanese writers who write SciFi/fantasy.

Finished the Binti trilogy by Nnedi Okorafor. It was an incredible journey! I am grateful to my friend who recommended this trilogy.

1. Binti ©2015
2. Home ©2017
3. The Night Masquerade ©2018

This is a short read: all 3 novellas together come to just under 13 hours of audiobooks.

Robin Mills’s narration is nuanced, strong, clear, and undoubtedly added to my enjoyment.

Noor (2021) by Nnedi Okorafor. I don't feel this prime example of radical Africanfuturism did get the buzz it deserves. A cyborg on the run, an evil company and the question of who owns the desert: this story tackles the current exploitation of the African continent in a playful yet emphatic way no Dune adaptation could ever come close to, because it refuses to use allegories. We need more uncompromising fiction like this.

Tje cover shows a black woman who wears her small braids in a bun. She practically bathes in yellow light.
Nnedi Okorafor is a Black Woman with long dreadlocks. In the picture she sits on a couch next to her cat
