Goliath onyebuchi5/10/2023 You along with your fellow Black Boy Joy authors were on Good Morning America- congratulations on that, by the way-and the Blackout women as well a couple weeks prior. Hi Tochi, thanks so much for speaking to We Need Diverse Books ! Brick by brick, their houses are sent to the colonies, what was once a home now a quaint reminder for the colonists of the world that they wrecked.Ī primal biblical epic flung into the future, Goliath weaves together disparate narratives-a space-dweller looking at New Haven, Connecticut as a chance to reconnect with his spiraling lover a group of laborers attempting to renew the promises of Earth’s crumbling cities a journalist attempting to capture the violence of the streets a marshal trying to solve a kidnapping-into a richly urgent mosaic about race, class, gentrification, and who is allowed to be the hero of any history. As they eke out an existence, their neighborhoods are being cannibalized. Those left behind salvage what they can from the collapsing infrastructure. Those with the means and the privilege have departed the great cities of the United States for the more comfortable confines of space colonies. In his adult novel debut, Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and NAACP Image Award finalist and ALA Alex and New England Book Award winner Tochi Onyebuchi delivers a sweeping science fiction epic in the vein of Samuel R. Today we’re pleased to welcome Tochi Onyebuchi to the WNDB blog for the first part of a wide-ranging interview about his sci-fi adult debut Goliath!
