In nine exhilarating stories of queer love in contemporary Nigeria, God’s Children Are Little Broken Things announces the arrival of a daring new voice in fiction.
A man revisits the university campus where he lost his first love, aware now of what he couldn’t understand then. A young musician rises to fame at the price of pieces of himself, and the man who loves him. Arinze Ifeakandu explores with tenderness and grace the fundamental question of the heart: can deep love and hope be sustained in spite of the dominant expectations of society, and great adversity.

Below are excerpts from the above article.
There was a bedtime and morning ritual in the Malebranche household. A kiss from the family patriarch to his son David and daughter Michelle that was so routine—his decision to replace David’s kiss with deafening silence—reverberated loudly throughout their home in Schenectady, NY, in the summer of 1993.
Despite being an exceptional student with degrees from Princeton, Emory, and Columbia Universities, Malebranche, now 53, had become accustomed to achieving a level of success that appeared to impress everyone but the Haitian-born surgeon he called dad. Yet he was not accustomed to being viewed as a disappointment by the man he idolized.
“Donna, is our son trying to tell us something?” Malebranche recalls his father asking his mother almost daily, particularly after getting his ears pierced, and choosing to wear an earring in the right ear only on this particular day, which in the early 90s was a cultural indicator that a man was not heterosexual.
“He would ask her that question every morning. He would not let it go,” Malebranche said. “So after the third or fourth morning, she’d say, ‘What do you want me to do? I can’t cover for you.’”
“I’m a firm believer that anyone can claim whatever label they want to. So whether you call yourself gay, queer, or SGL, whatever you want to call yourself, if it works for you, if it makes you a better person, if it helps you make sense of the world it’s fine.”— Dr. David Malebranche
Malebranche tells The Reckoning that it was the inclusion of the word “loving” in SGL that moved him to embrace the term.
“I’m a firm believer that anyone can claim whatever label they want to. So whether you call yourself gay, queer, or SGL, whatever you want to call yourself, if it works for you, if it makes you a better person, if it helps you make sense of the world it’s fine,” he said. “But I’m not about people trying to change the way I self identify.”
If there is one thing that Malebranche is clear about beyond self-identification, it is personal autonomy when it comes to the sexual experiences of Black SGL men.
“I’ve never been the condom police,” he said. “My attitude was never [you must] use a condom. My attitude is; get your freak on and figure out what you need to do to protect yourself best. Get tested. Live your life. Have your experience. Have your pleasure.”
Malebranche admits that his history with condom usage has been “scattered.” And in 2007, with a decade under his belt as an internal medicine doctor specializing in HIV, he was about to find himself on the other end of patient care.
