- More about Selfless Act of Breathing
The Selfless Act of Breathing is a heartbreaking, lyrical story about a British-Congolese teacher living in London who struggles with the injustices he sees and the violence that marginalises young Black men. When he suffers a devastating loss, he decides to spontaneously pack up and go to America, the mythical land of the free, where he imagines everything will be better. Along the way, he travels from New York City to San Francisco, partying with new friends, sparking fleeting romances, and splurging on big adventures. The novel is written in spellbinding prose with Bola's trademark, magnetic storytelling, and is perfect for fans of Rainbow Milk and Derek Owusu's works. It is a heart-wrenching and deeply emotional novel about mental health, masculinity, and the power of love.

Michael Kabongo, a British-Congolese teacher living in London, struggles with the overwhelming sense that he can't improve the injustices he sees. When he suffers a devastating loss, his life is thrown into a tailspin, and he decides to spontaneously pack up and go to America, the mythical land of the free, where he imagines everything will be better, easier. On this transformative journey, Michael travels from New York City to San Francisco, partying with new friends, sparking fleeting romances, and splurging on big adventures. In the back of his mind, he has a plan: follow his dreams until the money in his bank account runs out, and then he will decide if his life is truly worth living. Written in spellbinding prose with Bola's trademark, magnetic storytelling, The Selfless Act of Breathing is a heart-wrenching and deeply emotional novel about mental health, masculinity, and the power of love. Perfect for fans of Rai.
