As wrenching and luminous as Omar El Akkad’s What Strange Paradise and Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West, The Road to the Salt Sea is a searing exploration of the global migration crisis that moves from Nigeria to Libya to Italy, from an exciting new literary voice.
“I cannot think of another time in my life when I have come across a new writer as profoundly talented as Samuel Kọ́láwọlé. And his profound talent has brought us a beautifully rendered, brutal novel told with great empathy and heart. The Road to the Salt Sea has all of the markings of a masterful and enduring work of literature. And I get the feeling that Kọ́láwọlé is just warming up.”
Julianna Baggott, author of Harriet Wolf's Seventh Book of Wonders
“Home is not only a place of life trajectories, experiences, and relationships, but also a place where you are free.”
