Reviews
"""A bold and imaginative premise unfolds with lyrical language, hope and humor in Cebo Campbell's Sky Full of Elephants. Like the best speculative fiction, it compels us to view our own world through new eyes. This debut novel is not to be missed."" —TANANARIVE DUE, author of The Reformatory and winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize ""Replete with airline-less airports, sprawling mansions up for grabs, and an Alabaman monarchy, Sky Full of Elephants is a supremely imaginative exploration of family, loss, and the many roads to healing. Cebo Campbell gifts us a vivid odyssey full of possibility, proving that liberation doesn't reside in the rejection of history, but in our embrace of it. This is a debut that dares us to tap into frequencies of freedom, to view ourselves as what we truly are and always have been: beings full of light worthy of love."" —MATEO ASKARIPOUR, author of Black Buck ""Part Afrofuturism, part delicious fever dream, a lost father and his fractured daughter set out on a road trip toward a misunderstood utopia that reveals the sacred wisdom of who they are and the significance of their people. Cebo Campbell is a master griot, reordering the world with grace, beauty, and deep humanity. Sky Full of Elephants is a thrilling, original work that allows us to look deeply at each other and ask if 'white ain’t an idea no more,' what are the unlimited possibilities for the idea of black?"" —ASALE ANGEL-AJANI, author of A Country You Can Leave “At the heart of this post-racial apocalyptic world is the tender story of a father and daughter coming to grips with their ever-evolving connection in the midst of great upheaval. Campbell plays his notes with majestic care and the result is something completely woke and utterly satisfying. An extraordinary feat!” —SIDIK FOFANA, author of Stories from the Tenants Downstairs "
