Little Rot by Akwaeke Emezi review fast and filthy in New Lagos
Briefly

Moral decay seeps into every fibre of life. Even a kiss involves a tongue that is wet muscle... Sure enough, the coming pages will deliver sexual violence, paedophilia and murder, as Aima and Kalu's story expands over 36 hours.
Holding it all together is a plot that ducks and dives with cinematic verve, gaining momentum and menace from a series of coincidence-fuelled twists that bind the fates of Emezi's lovers and their privileged friends.
The rot of the title emanates from New Lagos, a place of rank hypocrisy and corruption where anything and anyone can be bought.
