Those left behind salvage what they can from the collapsing infrastructure. As they eke out an existence, their neighborhoods are being cannibalized. Brick by brick, their houses are sent to the colonies, what was once a home now a quaint reminder for the colonists of the world that they wrecked. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA primal biblical epic flung into the future, \u003ci\u003eGoliath\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together disparate narratives--a space-dweller looking at New Haven, Connecticut as a chance to reconnect with his spiraling lover; a group of laborers attempting to renew the promises of Earth's crumbling cities; a journalist attempting to capture the violence of the streets; a marshal trying to solve a kidnapping--into a richly urgent mosaic about race, class, gentrification, and who is allowed to be the hero of any history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTochi Onyebuchi\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the young adult novel \u003ci\u003eBeasts Made of Night\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Ilube Nommo Award for Best Speculative Fiction Novel by an African, its sequel, \u003ci\u003eCrown of Thunder\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWar Girls\u003c\/i\u003e.
