Suddenly, Bri finds herself discredited and surrounded by violence.Īt its heart, On the Come Up is a gripping story about a girl’s struggle to remain true to herself when life pushes her to compromise, but it’s so much more than that: an impassioned demand for greater understanding of the challenges facing African-American youth today, a love letter to family, and a tribute to the undeniable art and poetry of hip hop. The prequel comic is written by Christos Gage, who also worked on Marvel’s Spider-Man, and artist Ig Guara’s beautiful artwork graces the panels.

I haven’t loved a book this much in a long time. Told from the point of view of two children, on the ground and at sea, the story so astutely unpacks the us-versus-them dynamics of our divided world that it deserves to be an instant classic. It’s a similarly grand canvas of geopolitics, nativism and climate change, but this time, instead of unfurling a sweeping multigenerational epic, El Akkad keeps his plot and focus tight. ![]() In his new novel, “What Strange Paradise,” he draws this dystopia even closer to reality (and Western comfort zones), setting his narrative against actual events: the wars and revolutions of the Middle East and the migrant crisis that followed.
