Similar to Junot Diazs The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichies Americanah, Speak No Evil delves into the experience of being different in a society that values conformity, and explores how this difference manifests in both internal and external struggles. It is a novel that examines the power of words and self-identification, exploring who holds the privilege of speaking and the authority to speak on behalf of others. Uzodinma Iwealas second novel, as heart-wrenching and timely as his breakout debut, Beasts of No Nation, exposes the essence of our humanity, leaving readers profoundly affected. On the surface, Niru appears to lead a charmed life. Growing up in Washington, D.C., with caring parents, he excels academically and shines as a track star at a prestigious private high school. With admission to Harvard looming in the fall, his future seems promising. However, Niru harbors a painful secret - he is queer, a sin considered abominable by his conservative Nigerian parents. The only person who is privy to this secret is Meredith, his best friend and the daughter of influential Washington insiders, who stands by him without judgment. When Nirus father accidentally discovers his sons homosexuality, the consequences are brutal and immediate. Meanwhile, Meredith, grappling with her own difficulties, finds herself emotionally depleted and unable to offer much support to Niru. As the two friends navigate their desires amid societal expectations and institutions that attempt to define them, they find themselves hurtling toward a future that is more violent and senseless than they could have ever imagined. Neither will emerge unscathed from this turbulent journey.
