Description
Vagabonds! is a tumultuous and joyous novel that explores the lives of those living on the margins of modern Nigeria. Eloghosa Osunde's debut novel weaves together the stories of queer individuals, displaced people, and those living outside the norms of society, all while navigating the city's spiritual landscape. Through the eyes of Tatafo, a mischievous spirit, the city's inhabitants are drawn into a world of magic and resistance. As their lives intersect in markets, clubs, and secret gatherings, the vagabonds are challenged by the spirits who command the city. Osunde tackles the harsh realities of Nigerian capitalism, corruption, and oppression, yet offers a defiant and inventive tribute to those who find strength in the act of living. A vibrant and inventive tribute to the power of resistance, Vagabonds! is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to experience a fresh and unflinching portrayal of modern Nigeria.
