February 2025 book club
February 2025 book club
In February we will start off the book club reading “Perfect Little Angels” by Vincent Anioke.
In this beautifully imagined story collection, largely set in Nigeria, 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 self-expression through the lens of (un)conditional love.
