Actor Michael Obiora Releases New London-Based Novel That Deals With
Diversity, Identity Issues and Depression
Kieran Ledley is the world’s most expensive football player, he is also one half of
glamour couple “Kier-rissa,” and his step-brother is about to be released from
prison.
Freddie Abani is the MP for Woundham, who was touted as London’s potential first
black mayor – until the summer riots.
Rupal Advani is a former policewoman and is now a marijuana addict.
Gemma and
her struggling filmmaker husband Pete Newman
are trying to save their marriage.
Vivian Moses is a therapist, and they all have her in common.
.
I wanted to find a way to incorporate these themes into a hopefully insightful story and show how people from every walk of life can experience chaos, identity issues, betrayal, depression, and insecurities.
I also wanted wanted to write another book that reflects the diversity of my home city – London. This diversity is something I really appreciate, especially since I have spent time in other cities in the UK, where I have experienced very little diversity. And that’s not a criticism, just an observation, and something I guess I was surprised by.
Michael tells us a
little bit about why he wrote it:
As an actor I’m very
interested in human behaviour and the motivation for ones’ actions. I find it
fascinating how we can all seem so different on the surface, but I’m even more
fascinated by how similar we can be when we dig a little deeper.
