Losing the Plot

A fresh yet acutely sensitive take on the complex and evolving relationship between mother and son in the context of immigration, culture shock and assimilation. Part stream-of-consciousness narrative, part interview, part sidenotes, Owusu’s experimentation with form makes for a layered tale. It’s a cleverly crafted collage of memories, imaginings and commentary resulting in an affectionate, poignant and beautiful veneration of his Ghanaian mother.
