I’m a child of the desert. That sounds dramatic, and dare I say alluring, but it really just means that I grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada, which is located in the Mojave Desert. As a city known more for gambling than its biome, Las Vegas may not be the sexiest of deserts, especially when it comes to the crashing dunes and silk-clad nomads that populate the deserts of our collective imagination. But growing up there imparts many of the same experiences of those who grew up in other deserts.

The Truth of the Aleke by Moses Ose UtomiThe Truth of the Aleke is Moses Ose Utomi’s sequel to his fantastic The Lies of the Ajungo, which I said in my review was “as close to perfect a modern parable as I’ve read in some time.” I’m happy to report that if the follow-up isn’t quite as “perfect,” it’s nonetheless a fantastic read, and one that makes me oh so eager to see how Utomi wraps up this loosely connected trilogy set in the Forever Desert.
