Description
A man returns home to a country he no longer recognises after 26 years in exile. His journey is sparked by a chance encounter at the airport, leading him to search for his real brother, who is dying. This is a story of one man's quest for refuge and truth.
Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters who lead him on a circuitous path towards the truth. With its blend of humour, tragedy and absurdity, Hangman is an existential journey about finding home in a world that feels like a stranger's.
This debut novel from Maya Binyam explores themes of exile, diaspora and the search for Black refuge. It's a shocking original tale that defies easy categorisation.
