[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”4/6″][vc_column_text]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.A unique blend of travelogue, musings and poetry, A Stranger’s Pose draws the reader into a world of encounters haunted by the absence of home, estrangement from a lover and family tragedies. The author’s recollections and reflections of fragments of his journey offer a compelling and very personal meditation on the meaning of home and the generosity of strangers to a lone traveller. Alongside accounts of the author’s own travels are other narratives about movement, intimacy, the power of language and translation. Accompanying the text are 41 stunning photographs from acclaimed photographers that draw the reader into different worlds and the lives that fill them.
