Ayize Jama-Everett Career
In his review of The Entropy of Bones, author Charles Yu described Jama-Everett’s work as “resist[ing] easy categorization.” [The protagonist’s] mixed racial background provides a potentially nuanced perspective that appears neglected.” He goes on to say that: “If the book veers among different approaches — now a philosophical kung fu master story, now a seduction into a rarefied subculture, now an esoteric universe made from liner notes and the journal entries of a brilliantly imaginative teenager — there’s nevertheless a vitality to the voice and a weirdness that, while not always controlled or intentional, is highly appealing for just that reason.” Jama-Everett sees his writing as a tool to help people who have long been marginalized in mainstream popular culture. In 2021, Jama-Everett and writer/illustrator John Jennings will release Box of Bones, an ethno-gothic horror comic. “A genre narrative based on collective suffering, with rotating artists. […] This passionate endeavor is part of the comics market’s ethno-gothic fiction trend, and it provides a landscape conducive to contemplating such eerie and weird fruit.” According to Jama-Everett, his mother named him ‘Ayize’, which means ‘let it come’ in an African source language.
