The Perfect Immigrant by Samuel Yakura

What else does a young Black man have to say if it isn’t about racism?

Too busy trying to be an adult, leaving Nigeria and settling in Ireland, he has to find a way to hold on to both worlds.

With a story woven through prose and poetry, you will shift in your seat as you are teased with the discomfort of this immigrant settling into a new land. Take sides as loyalty to home is torn by the promise of the new.

But the real question is, where do you buy a hot pepper in Lucan?
