Product Information
"Transcendent." -- The New York Times Book Review "Flawless. . . another masterpiece from an author who seems incapable of writing anything that's less than brilliant." -- NPR From the award-winning author of Boy, Snow, Bird and Mr. Fox comes an enchanting collection of intertwined stories. Playful, ambitious, and exquisitely imagined, What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours is cleverly built around the idea of keys, literal and metaphorical. The key to a house, the key to a heart, the key to a secret--Oyeyemi's keys not only unlock elements of her characters' lives, they promise further labyrinths on the other side. In "Books and Roses" one special key opens a library, a garden, and clues to at least two lovers' fates. In "Is Your Blood as Red as This?" an unlikely key opens the heart of a student at a puppeteering school. "'Sorry' Doesn't Sweeten Her Tea" involves a "house of locks," where doors can be closed only with a key--with surprising, unobservable developments. And in "If a Book Is Locked There's Probably a Good Reason for That Don't You Think," a key keeps a mystical diary locked (for good reason). Oyeyemi's tales span multiple times and landscapes as they tease boundaries between coexisting realities. Is a key a gate, a gift, or an invitation? What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours captivates as it explores the many possible answers.

Reviews
Praise for What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours : "Magical and show stopping." -- Elle.com Praise for Boy, Snow, Bird : "Gloriously unsettling . . . The greatest joy of reading Oyeyemi will always be style: jagged and capricious at moments, lush and rippled at others, always singular, like the voice-over of a fever dream." -- The New York Times Book Review "Superbly inventive . . . examines the thorniness of race and the poisonous ways in which vanity and envy can permeate and distort perception." -- O, The Oprah Magazine "By transforming 'Snow White' into a tale that hinges on race and cultural ideas about beauty . . . Oyeyemi finds a new, raw power in the classic. In her hands, the story is about secrets and lies, mothers and daughters, lost sisters and the impossibility of seeing oneself or being seen in a brutally racist world. . . . [Oyeyemi] elegantly and inventively turns a classic fairy tale inside out." -- Los Angeles Times "The outline of Oyeyemi's remarkable career glimmers with pixie dust. . . . The atmosphere of fantasy lingers over these pages like some intoxicating incense." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post Praise for Mr. Fox : "Oyeyemi has an eye for the gently perverse, the odd detail that turns the ordinary marvelously, frighteningly strange." -- The Boston Globe "Startling, beautiful . . .

[ Mr. Fox ] should not be ignored." -- Chicago Sun-Times, Praise for What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours : "Summarizing Oyeyemi is like trying to tell a dream. . . Casual and accessible at the sentence level, [these stories] are not so much experimental as deeply comfortable with the pre-narrative and proto-narrative impulses at the heart of storytelling." -- The Chicago Tribune "Magical and show stopping." -- Elle.com "An enchanting and beautifully crafted first collection of stories, linked by the recurrence of keys...Oyeyemi''s storytelling is without parallel." -BBC.com "In this collection of short stories, there are many keys that unlock many things. . .

With characters that will welcome you, push you, and surprise you, Oyeyemi''s writing takes you past your expectations." -- Bustle "A downright addictive read." -- Nylon "Interestingly, it may well be Oyeyemi''s first collection of short fiction, over and above her revered novels, that pushes her into the highest reaches of literary reputation." -Flavorwire "On the page [Oyeyemi] roars. . . Oyeyemi leaves us spellbound and begging for more of her ingenious and utterly addictive prose." -- Essence "Stunning. . . Highly imaginative and enchanting. . .

This is a book where a busking viszla and ironic prison selfies happily co-exist. . . If these stories are mazes, they''re ones where readers can be all too happy to find themselves lost." -Books and Whatnot Praise for Boy, Snow, Bird : "Gloriously unsettling . . .
