Last week, we shared the first part of a list on books with LGBTQ lead characters as part of celebration for the 2018 pride month. To continue this celebration, here is the second part of the list.
Ayesha Harruna Attah, author of The Hundred Wells of Salaga, will be in London for just 2 weeks this summer. Don't miss out on this opportunity to see her! With other writers, Ayesha will be at appearing at Africa Writes, the Royal African Society's Annual Literature Festival, as well as at other events in the city.
for pride month, here is the first list of 25 books with lead LGBTQ characters that we think you should be reading or at the very least, add to your library.
African media give undue relevance, privilege and recognition to works by Africans produced in the West while conveniently overlooking the exact same works available in the country.
Cassava Republic Press has acquired ‘A Stranger’s Pose,’ a narrative non-fiction by writer Emmanuel Iduma, about his travels across a number of African cities. A Stranger’s Pose will be published in Autumn 2018, with a Foreword by writer and New York Times Magazine photography critic, Teju Cole.
