**One of Timeโs 32 Books You Need to Read This Summer**
An NPR Best Book of 2019
An โelectrifyingโ (Publishers Weekly) debut novel from Rhodes Scholar and winner of the Caine Prize for African Writing about a Nigerian family living in Utah and their uneasy assimilation to American life.
Living in small-town Utah has always been an uncomfortable fit for Tunde Akinolaโs family, especially for his Nigeria-born parents. Though Tunde speaks English with a Midwestern accent, he canโt escape the children who rub his skin and ask why the black wonโt come off. As he struggles to fit in, he finds little solace from his parents who are grappling with their own issues.
Tundeโs father, ever the optimist, works tirelessly chasing his American dream while his wife, lonely in Utah without family and friends, sinks deeper into schizophrenia. Then one otherwise-ordinary morning, Tundeโs mother wakes him with a hug, bundles him and his baby brother into the car, and takes them away from the only home theyโve ever known.
But running away doesnโt bring her, or her children, any relief; once Tundeโs father tracks them down, she flees to Nigeria, and Tunde never feels at home again. He spends the rest of his childhood and young adulthood searching for connectionโto the wary stepmother and stepbrothers he gains when his father remarries; to the Utah residents who mock his fatherโs accent; to evangelical religion; to his Texas middle schoolโs crowd of African-Americans; to the fraternity brothers of his historically black college. In so doing, he discovers something that sends him on a journey away from everything he has known.
Sweeping, stirring, and perspective-shifting, A Particular Kind of Black Man is โwild, vulnerable, livedโฆA study of the particulate self, the self as a constellation of moving partsโ (The New York Times Book Review).
