AFRICA INSIDE OUT

Launched at the recent Time of the Writer Festival, Africa Inside Out – Stories, Tales and Testimonies is an anthology comprising works by previous participants in the Time of the Writer Festival who offer refreshing contemporary responses to the varied contexts of the African continent.

A culmination of stories that speak to the heart of contemporary Africa, Africa Inside Out allows the reader to journey through quirky interpretations of oral tradition, to expectations of digital possibility, humorous renditions of old and new conundrums, and more.

Edited by emeritus professor Michael Chapman of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, this anthology contains contributions by Doreen Baingana, Lauren Beukes, Elana Bregin, Marie Darrieussecq, Max du Preez, Ronnie Govender, Oscar Hemer, Deon Meyer, Kirsten Miller, Kagiso Lesego Molope, Kobus Moolman, Andile Mngxitama, Sally-Ann Murray, Patrice Nganang, Kole Omotoso, Zachariah Rapola, Albie Sachs, Angelina Sithebe and Chika Unigwe.

Africa Inside Out is published by UKZN Press and available at Adams Booksellers
