Welcome back to Flip the Page. Today's episode, we're getting a bit serious, delving into white supremacy and antiblackness through the concept of "rot" seen in Akwaeke Emezi's, Little Rot.
Little Rot weaves the story of five friends, through their point-of-views, as they each come into varying degrees of contact with the elite underbelly of a Nigerian city. Aima and Kalu are a long-time couple, who have just broken up. In despair, Kalu attends a sex party hosted by his best friend Ahmed. A single decision made by Kalu at the party sets off a chain reaction. Two sex workers, Ola and Souraya, visiting the city, find themselves suddenly flung into the chaos as they intersect with Ahmed and Kalu. In the face of evil, corruption, violence, loss, grief, murder and betrayal, Little Rot shows the lengths these five will go to save each other and themselves.
