Praise for Only Stars Know The Meaning Of Space: A Literary Mixtape
“Ngamije has a voice like no other. This collection of stories moves beautifully to its own rhythm.” — Nana Kwameh Adjei-Brenyah, New York Times bestselling author of Chain Gang All-Stars and Friday Black.
“Rémy Ngamije’s Only Stars Know The Meaning Of Space is among the most exciting, innovative, and wonderfully observed story collections to appear in recent memory. It’s knock-down drag-out funny and overflows with raw honesty. What can’t Ngamije do?” — Peter Orner, author of The Second Coming of Mavala Shikongo, Am I Alone Here, and, Esther Stories, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Award.
“Rémy Ngamije has written an absolute marvel of a book—brilliantly conceived and unlike anything I’ve read before, with each story, chapter, paragraph a declaration of Ngamije’s extraordinary gifts.” —Dinaw Mengestu, author of Someone Like Us.
“I love this writing. I’m listening to my mind as I read Only Stars Know The Meaning Of Space. Rémy writes in a way I’ve always known, but I’ve never heard.” —Aku Orraca-Tetteh, DJ, producer, musician, and member of Florence and The Machine.
“I am actively jealous of Rémy’s imagination and its daring. Here we have a writer who sees everything, from the absurdities and complexities of Namibian life and then offers them to you wrapped in humor and the tapestry of global south music to say we are all mixed. This is a journey across all genres to paint a picture of an Africa that has globalized onto itself—the West even though the present is peripheral. Through Rémy, Windhoek sings its song. Take a listen!” —Mukoma Wa Ngugi, author of Nairobi Heat, Rise of the African Novel, Unbury Our Dead With Song, and Associate Professor of Literatures in English, Cornell University.
“Ngamije’s rich collection follows characters as they navigate the untidiness of their lives, broken relationships, and elusive desires . . . The narratives are finely alert to characters’ vulnerabilities, pulling differing worlds into poignant focus.“ — Booklist
“Ngamije is undeniably an excellent stylist, able to delight, amuse and horrify in equal measure, and ‘Only the Stars Know the Meaning of Space,’ which feels more connected and cohesive the further you read, is an exciting and fresh approach to a work of collected fictions.” — LA Times
“Ngamije has a lot of fun, and success, with his unconventional structure . . . the prose shines.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Ngamije turns heads with his clever and energetic wordplay.” — Publishers Weekly

The Eternal Audience Of One: A Novel
(Click on the image to view purchasing options)
Praise for The Eternal Audience Of One:
“At once a millennial caper and a loving homage to all that is lost in exile, The Eternal Audience of One is nothing short of brilliant. The humor in this stunning novel will keep you glued, but it is the wisdom – elegiac and mature – that will keep you mesmerized. Take note world: Rémy Ngamije is that electrifying voice you have been waiting for.” — Maaza Mengiste, author of The Shadow King, shortlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize.
“A novel this compelling shouldn’t be so entertaining. As comically inventive as it is superbly written, Ngamije’s The Eternal Audience of One has a rare narrative propulsion—I have not been so swept up on a novel in years. Out of Namibia, population 2.5 million, comes an international masterwork for the 21st Century.” — Peter Orner, author of The Second Coming of Mavala Shikongo, Am I Alone Here, and, Esther Stories.
“The Eternal Audience of One had me completely in its palm. A delightful, witty and impeccably funny novel that I’ll read over and over again.” — Candice Carty-Williams, bestselling author of Queenie.
“The Eternal Audience of One by Remy Ngamije is a brilliant debut that is as funny as it is wise and as beautiful as it is original. A stunning new work.” — Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday Black.
“No writing convention is safe in Remy’s hands, not time, not form, not where a story begins or ends because to tell the story of an idiosyncratic yet strangely coherent and cosmopolitan Africa; where anything can happen, he has to reshape writing itself. And he does so with love, beauty and humor. Reader, please meet the future of African Literature!” — Mukoma Wa Ngugi, author of Nairobi Heat, Rise of the African Novel, Unbury Our Dead With Song, and Associate Professor of Literatures in English, Cornell University.
“Hilarious and heartbreaking, The Eternal Audience of One showed me another world and myself in equal measure on every page. A delightful, masterful, instant classic of a debut.” — Adam Smyer, author of Knucklehead and You Can Keep That to Yourself.
“A wickedly funny and deeply felt story about a young man’s intense desire to break free from the past, visually striking and beautifully told with youthful energy and hard-won wisdom.” — Rabeah Ghaffari, screenwriter, and author of To Keep the Sun Alive.
“Rémy Ngamije is a confident, bold new voice whose broad-canvas, debut novel follows the adventures of its Rwandan-born protagonist Séraphin and a colorful cast of friends and family. The Eternal Audience of One is laugh-out-loud funny with writing that is sometimes so beautiful that it dances off the page—to a millennial beat—in perfect tempo with its tales of migration, love, loss, and friendship. Here is where Michael Chabon meets Elnathan John meets Junot Diaz meets Zadie Smith.” — Sarah Ladipo Manyika, author of In Dependence and Like A Mule Bringing Ice Cream To The Sun.
“The Eternal Audience of One is as witty as it is incisive, charmingly capturing the outsider-looking-in experiences of Ngamije’s key characters. A memorable debut to the African literary landscape.” — Zukiswa Wanner, author of The Madams and London Cape Town Joburg.
“A choral novel…exposing the sexual and racial politics of an ambitious new generation making their way in South Africa’s “Rainbow Nation” . . . This is a novel of youthful anxiety and dreams—written at a lively, chatty pace—that poses an eternal question: What will happen after graduation?” — New York Times
“Another sparkling new talent emanating from the African continent, Rwandan Namibian Ngamije has been honored with the 2021 Regional Commonwealth Short Story Prize. With the broad release of this 2019 debut novel, he can now be embraced by the wider audience he so deserves.” — Library Journal
“A charming, witty, and incredibly humane story of a group of friends… Ngamije’s novel is a timely and appropriate work of fiction that highlights the ways in which life is still heavily segmented along race, economic disparity, and a certain level of xenophobia in this part of the world. Ngamije may be a newcomer on the global literary scene but in the parlance of the urban slang that flows off the pages of ‘The Eternal Audience of One,’ with incredible ease, he has made a bang with a slayer of a novel. It’s an instant classic.” — Pittsburg Post-Gazette
“A law student contends with his family and future prospects in this funny and incisive debut from Namibian writer Ngamije . . . A vivid catalog of sorrows, embarrassments, and barely concealed hostilities, which Ngamije conveys through Séraphin’s sly commentary (his “weather report” for Cape Town: “Mild racism with scattered xenophobic showers. Watch out for house parties, folks!”). Fans of Brandon Taylor’s work will love this.” — Publishers Weekly
“Ngamije’s writing is beautiful, his observations original and precise, his sense of place unsurpassed… Séraphin’s experiences depict a fascinating, multidimensional and culturally and politically damning version of post-apartheid Cape Town. Every bit of insight, succinctly and humorously presented, will cause readers to stop and think. Ngamije displays copious talent and an authentic and elegant literary style in this striking debut.” — BookPage
“Ngamije’s coming-of-age novel is clever. He’s so witty and sharp and that bleeds into the characters he has created. Following a Rwandan man who is fleeing his country during war, the book is a millennial road novel where the bits and pieces of the journey are brilliant and Ngamije’s hilarity shines through.” — Debutiful
“Like Zadie Smith, Ngamije has written quite an intellectual novel in which the racial politics are a central theme, and like Smith’s ‘White Teeth’, ‘The Eternal Audience of One is perfect for classrooms. And yet Ngamije has created something entirely his own… Intelligent and graceful… ‘The Eternal Audience of One’ adds something unique and urgently needed to the canon, a brave and post-modern coming-of-age novel. Ngamije’s gift is to show us that, although this novel is urgent and timely, Séraphin’s struggle to learn how to live in a harsh world is timeless.” — Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star
