Praise for What it Means When a Man Falls from the Sky : " What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky is a striking collection that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand at attention and your heart gasp in admiration. Arimah's stories are intense, mesmeric, and nothing short of stunning." -- Claire Vaye Watkins, author of Battleborn and Gold Fame Citrus "In these gorgeous stories, Arimah dreams a world. These tales cut like razors, charm like poetry, and heal like love. International in scope, but deeply personal, What It Means When A Man Falls From The Sky marks the arrival of a stunning new voice." -- Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow, "A remarkable new talent." --Buzzfeed "I rarely find fiction so captivating, short stories so beyond impressive." -- Jezebel "Imaginative and mesmerizing ...the women in this collection exist in an unpredictable, often dangerous world, one that is both markedly different from, yet startlingly similar to our own." -- Bustle "Seamlessly blends magical realism and a kind of sci-fi, resulting in a one-of-a-kind...Brilliant." -- The Millions "[Arimah] turned some folks' worlds upside down...I can't wait to devour this." -- Black Nerd Problems "Ever since reading Arimah's unsettling New Yorker fiction story, in which a woman longing for a child decides to make one out of hair, I've been eagerly awaiting more of her work. Happily, this collection is finally here, and includes that incredible story and many others that are its equals." -Nylon "Arimah has skill in abundance: the stories here are solid and impeccably crafted and strike at the heart of the most complicated of human relationships. Against a backdrop of grief for dead parents or angst over a lover, Arimah uses Nigeria as her muse...join[ing] everything from fabulism to folk tale...while also managing to create a wholly cohesive and original collection. Heralds a new voice with certain staying power." -- Kirkus (starred) "With her luminous debut collection, Lesley Nneka Arimah marks her richly deserved place in contemporary fiction. At the center of each impeccably written story, Arimah offers up a new kind of yearning--for love, for peace, for comfort, for home. Never have needful things been so gorgeously displayed." --Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist and Difficult Women "How does she make these stories so distilled and spacious at the same time? They are drained of excess but still expand so fearlessly. A remarkable debut, from a writer I'm sure we'll be reading for years to come." - Aimee Bender, author of The Color Master and The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake "A striking collection that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand at attention and your heart gasp in admiration. Arimah's stories are intense, mesmeric, and nothing short of stunning." -- Claire Vaye Watkins, author of Battleborn and Gold Fame Citrus "Without question, one of the finest story collections I've read in years. Arimah excels at capturing the kinetic ache of dislocation, of dwelling in the mysterious territory that divides places and selves and generations. Wondrous." --Laura van den Berg, author of Find Me and The Isle of Youth "In these gorgeous stories, Arimah dreams a world. These tales cut like razors, charm like poetry, and heal like love. International in scope, but deeply personal, What It Means When A Man Falls From The Sky marks the arrival of a stunning new voice." -- Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow " What it Means When a Man Falls from the Sky is an exciting and audacious collection. At turns otherworldly and heartbreakingly familiar, these stories represent all that we could ever want from short fiction. The humor is wicked and the heart big, beautiful, and full of want." --Diane Cook, author of Man V. Nature, "Inventive and wildly playful." -- The Boston Globe "A remarkable new talent." --Buzzfeed "I rarely find fiction so captivating, short stories so beyond impressive." -- Jezebel "Imaginative and mesmerizing ...the women in this collection exist in an unpredictable, often dangerous world, one that is both markedly different from, yet startlingly similar to our own." -- Bustle "Seamlessly blends magical realism and a kind of sci-fi, resulting in a one-of-a-kind...Brilliant." -- The Millions "[Arimah] turned some folks'' worlds upside down...I can''t wait to devour this." -- Black Nerd Problems "Ever since reading Arimah''s unsettling New Yorker fiction story, in which a woman longing for a child decides to make one out of hair, I''ve been eagerly awaiting more of her work. Happily, this collection is finally here, and includes that incredible story and many others that are its equals." -Nylon "Sharp and surprising, fantastic and dark, human and heartbreaking...a must-add to your short fiction list ...I loved every minute of reading this book." -Julie Wernersbach, Director of the Texas Book Festival "Arimah has skill in abundance: the stories here are solid and impeccably crafted and strike at the heart of the most complicated of human relationships. Against a backdrop of grief for dead parents or angst over a lover, Arimah uses Nigeria as her muse...join[ing] everything from fabulism to folk tale...while also managing to create a wholly cohesive and original collection.

Writing this good just can''t stay quiet. What It Means When a Man Fall from the Sky is your introduction to one of the best and brightest new writers around." - Victor LaValle, author of Big Machine and The Changeling
