No One Dies Yet

A genre-breaking novel from a powerful new African voice

It’s the ‘Year of Return.’ Black diasporas from around the world are being encouraged to make a pilgrimage to a small country in West Africa to connect with their African roots.

Three African-American friends, Elton, Vincent and Scott arrive to join in the festivities and to be educated about Ghana’s colonial past. They are also there to explore the capital’s underground queer scene. The novel is narrated by their two guides: Nana, the voice of tradition and religious principle, and Kobby, the friends’ way into Accra’s secret gay culture. No One Dies Yet is a shocking and unsettling tale of murder that is at times funny, at times erotic, yet always outspoken and iconoclastic.

Kobby Ben Ben proves in this his first novel that he is set to become one of the most prominent new voices to emerge in this decade.
