No Edges: Swahili Stories translated by Idza Luhumyo

Swahili is the future. The first collection of Swahili fiction in English translation, No Edges introduces eight East African writers from Tanzania and Kenya as they share tales of sorcerers, Nairobi junkyards, cross-country bus rides, and spaceships that blast prisoners into eternity. Here we’re encouraged to explore the chaos of life on a crowded Earth, as well as the otherworldly realms lying just beyond our reach. Through language bursting with rhythm and vivid Africanfuturist visions, these writers summon the boundless future into being.

Purchase a copy to read, or grab it from the library, and join us at Dog·Eared Books at 7 PM on November 15th, to discuss the book with book club host Mariah! This book club is free to anyone who wishes to participate, no registration necessary.
