Dark Days: A Letter to Wuchereria
About
What do you do when your world fractures, not all at once, but cell by cell?
In this deeply intimate epistolary memoir, DARK DAYS; A Letter to Wuchereria unfolds as a letter to a beloved friend lost too soon.
Through poetic reflections, scientific metaphors, and unflinching honesty, Usman navigates the silent aftermath of grief, the death of a mentor, the unraveling of friendship, and a personal battle with hearing loss. But woven through the darkness are luminous threads; the resilience of nature, the quiet wisdom of biology, the unexpected strength of community.
From sleepless nights of study to moments of stillness under trees, this is a story of holding on, and letting go. DARK DAYS is not just a tribute, it is a transformation; of grief into growth, of silence into voice, of memory into light. For anyone who has loved, lost, and longed to find meaning in the aftermath, this is a book that whispers, you are not alone.
