The New Yorker named Namwali Serpell’s STRANGER FACES as one of “The Best Books We Read in 2020.” They write: “These stories are masterpieces of radical eroticism, but they wouldn’t have the same impact if they didn’t appear in a gorgeously varied narrative fabric, amid scenes of more wholesome love, finely sketched vistas of political unrest, haunting evocations of a damaged childhood, and moments of mundane rapture. Tenderness, violence, animosity, and compassion are the outer edges of what feels like a total map of the human condition.” Transit Books published the book on October 20, 2020.
