In this "absolute marvel of a book" (Dinaw Mengestu, author of Someone Like Us ), acclaimed author Remy Ngamije offers up a vibrant collection of award-winning short fiction. Presented as a literary mixtape, Only Stars Know the Meaning of Space is a work that provides you with a uniquely modern reading experience. The A-Side, read as one narrative, tells the story of a soon-to-be thirty-year-old aspiring writer navigating a complicated world. The B-Side, taken as a separate experience, features (seemingly) independent and unrelated short stories. There's "Crunchy, Green Apples (or, Omo)", a story about loss told by the strangest of narrative devices: a shopping list. "Sofa, So Good, Sort Of (or, John Muafangejo)" is a first-person account of a family's history and a long journey towards hope. A group of friends attempts to navigate a recent breakup in "From the Lost City of Hurtlantis to the Streets of Helldorado (or, Franco)." When read together, however, a third world emerges--a complex, intergenerational, and interconnected "journey across all genres" (Mukoma Wa Ngugi, author of Unbury Our Dead with Song ) that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
