Please read Dengue Boy. This is my favorite kind of absurdism: fast-paced, entertaining and highly imaginative. Things spiral out of control, it's hellish and exuberant, then everything comes crashing back together in a triumphant, trippy apocalypse of an ending. #booksky #dengueboy

The book cover shows the title of the book at the top and the author name at the bottom. In the centre is an illustration of a boys head splitting in half vertically, with flowers, plants ans mosquitoes breaking out of him. The cover is held in a bright lime green colour, including the boy’s head, with some of the other elements coloured in blue, yellow and read.

Picked up “Dengue Boy” by Michel Nieva today, and now I can’t decide what to make my next read because I’ve got so many good ones ready to go. Look at that cover, too! 🌿🌱🦟🌼
