Transcendent Kingdom meets A Man Called Ove in this heartwarming, page-turning novel about a Congolese-British Londoner who travels to the United States on one last adventure, determined to end his life once his savings run out. After suffering a devastating loss, Michael Kabongo, a charismatic young Congolese immigrant who works as a teacher in London, decides to embark on an American adventure. In "the land of the free," Michael travels everywhere from San Francisco to Dallas, partying with new friends, sparking fleeting romances, and splurging on big adventures, with the intention of ending his life once his savings run out. The Selfless Act of Breathing is the story of a young Londoner who strives to change the injustices he sees raging before him, in the lives of the students he works so hard to help rise above their circumstances, in the aftermath of his father's tragic death, and in the violence and brutality that marginalizes young Black men around the world. As he makes surprising new connections and faces old prejudices in odd but exciting new settings, Michael alone must decide if his life is worth living
