It was, on the surface, for the shock factor as the scene immediately commands the attention of the reader. During one Bushwick rooftop party, Feyi let herself loose and is consumed by the sexual tension that permeated the air after a chance encounter with a handsome stranger his name was Milan. Their third venture into adult fiction, the novel charted the story of Feyi Adekola, with the novel commencing in a steamy and explicit sex scene. Loss, trauma, and mustering the strength to overcome them floated to the fore in Nigerian writer Akwaeke Emezi’s latest novel, You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty. We all have wounds we obscure, scars we hide from the rest of the world. The truth is that none of us will escape life unscathed. Some go astray trying to make sense of their trauma while some, unfortunately. Some spend lifetimes licking their wound. Some leave us mortally wounded and the wounds are too deep that not even the passage of time can help heal or quell them. However, there are also some that leave us physically, emotionally, and even mentally exhausted. There are some that teach us valuable lessons and pearls of wisdom that we will take wherever in life we go.

There are some that we relish during our lifetime. Each of these detours and curve balls gives us different experiences. Life, a journey brimming with adventures, misadventures, and missteps, is an enigma that never runs out of curve balls to hurl at us.
