How could a man refuse to attend his own mother's funeral?
When Mr. K reveals his decision, he astounds the high-society guests at New York's Tiffany Estate. They lean in to listen as he shares a story of damaged family ties. As a respected community figure, Mr. K defends his stance through flashbacks, addressing the guests' bold questions. Their divided reactions prompt a deeper reflection on the saying, A mother's love is infinite, as the narrative exposes startling elements of Kanan's journey from Cameroon to the US, via France.
This gripping novella by Alexis EYONDI - author of When I Grow Up I'll Be a Seducer - is based on true events and plunges readers into intense dialogue and turmoil. It challenges them to dissect the complexities of a son's innocent affection, a mother's selfishness and internalized racism, and the resulting drama of broken relationships.
Will the guests' initial shock hold as they learn the full story?
