WINNER OF THE 2018 PEN OPEN BOOK AWARD
 
“A wealthy and urgently necessary book”
(New York Times Book Review), A Moonless, Starless Sky is a masterful, humane work of literary journalism by New Yorker group of workers author Alexis Okeowo–a vivid narrative of Africans who are courageously resisting their continent’s wave of fundamentalism.


In A Moonless, Starless Sky, Okeowo weaves together four narratives that form a powerful tapestry of up to date Africa: a young couple, kidnap sufferers of Joseph Kony’s LRA; a Mauritanian waging a lonely campaign against up to date-day slavery; a women’s basketball team flourishing amid war-torn Somalia; and a vigilante who takes up arms against the extremist group Boko Haram. This debut book by one of The usa’s most acclaimed young journalists illuminates the inner lives of unusual people doing the odd–lives that are too frequently hidden, underreported, or ignored by the remainder of the world.
