Unfortunates

<p><strong>An edgy bitingly funny debut about a queer half-Nigerian college sophomore who enraged and exhausted by the racism at her elite college is determined to reveal the truth about The Unfortunates--the unlucky subset of Black undergrads who Just. Keep. Disappearing.</strong></p><p>Sahara is Not Okay. Entering her sophomore year she already feels like a failure: her body is too much her love life is nonexistent she's not Nigerian enough for her family her grades are subpar and well the few Black classmates she has are vanishing--or dying. Sahara herself is close to giving up: depression has been her longtime Life Partner. She believes that this narrative--taking the form of an irreverent no-holds-barred thesis addressed to the powerful University Committee that will judge her--may be her last chance to document the Unfortunates' experience before she joins their ranks...But maybe just maybe she and her complex community of BIPOC women aren't ready to go out without a fight.</p>
