Beginning with his early childhood immersed in the lgbo culture of West Africa, Abani unfurls a lushly poetic, insightful, and funny narrative that investigates the roles that race, culture, and language play in fashioning our sense of self. As Abani so lovingly puts it, he contemplates 'all the people who have touched my face, slapped it, punched it, kissed it, washed it, shaved it. All of that human contact must leave some trace, dome of the need and anger that motivated that touch. This face is softened by it all. Made supple by all the wonder it beheld, all the kindness, all the generosity of life.' The Face: Cartography of the Void is a gift to be read, re-read, shared, and reasured, froman author at the height of his artistic powers."-Back cover. 600 10 $a Abani, Chris. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85352636 600 17 $a Abani, Chris. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01472735 650 0 $a Authors, Nigerian $y 20th century $v Biography. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009116320 650 0 $a Face. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85335691 650 7 $a Authors, Nigerian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00822247 650 7 $a Face. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00919522 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026047 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919894 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919894 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017025020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=34F1BA54FAD211E7A45C351A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
