I really enjoyed most of "Death of the Author"; the book-within-the-book was exciting, especially at the beginning. The main character, Zelu, has a lot of depth and feels like a real person. But the conflict with the family and with others about her reaction to disability is baffling. I know I have my own cultural biases but their reaction to assistive devices and prosthetics feels so out of place that it's hard to stay engrossed. But even with that there's a lot to love in this novel, and it's worth picking up even if you haven't dug in to the more fantasy based books by Okrafor.
