Things They Lost was released by Oneworld Publications in 2022. (WAKILISHA) Set in the fictional village of Mapeli in Kenya, the novel follows Ayosa Ataraxis Brown, a solitary girl who spends her days cataloguing the world's absences and waiting for her mercurial, damaged mother Nabumbo to return from whatever darkness has swallowed her. The village itself is frozen in time, haunted by accumulated losses, and populated by presences that may be ghosts, memories, or something stranger. Oduor's prose is unlike anything else being written — baroque, lyrical, and intoxicating, drawing on oral storytelling, magical realism, and a deeply African sense of time as non-linear. The novel is at once a story about a specific mother and daughter and a meditation on generational trauma, the weight of history, and the impossible love between people who wound each other simply by being who they are.
