Awards & Praise

Unnatural Resources is proud to have received numerous awards in the industry.

"In action-based prose, Uhrlaub’s debut about squandered Congolese resources unfolds cinematically…. Therese’s shame in her dirty dress and her dignity as she treks across the land in search of her people make this novel a worthy contribution to the growing pool of migrant literature."
