In this stunning debut story collection set largely in Nigeria, questions abound What happens when we fall short of societys and our own expectations? When our personal desires conflict with the duties we are bound with? The characters in Perfect Little Angels confront these dilemmas and more in these brilliantly imagined tales. In a boarding school, tensions brew between students and vengeful staff. An addict seeks a fresh start in pottery class. A man returns home from university abroad with confessions that unravel his mothers world. Amid winter storms, a ghost delights a griefstricken partner. And atop a hill surrounded by rot and garbage, two lovers dare to embark on a secret, dangerous romance. Human desires for connection, salvation, and understanding imbue these deeply Nigerian stories with universal resonance. In Vincent Aniokes tenderly written stories, characters seek love in different permutations from teachers, parents, dead partners, and even God. Perfect Little Angels is a nuanced exploration of masculinity, religion, marginalization, suppressed queerness, and selfexpression through the lens of (un)conditional love.
