VAGABONDS! is a novel of intertwined short stories that center the lives of vagabonds in Nigeria. The Nigerian definition of vagabonds references language codified into law that punishes the queer, trans, poor and sex workers.
I really enjoyed this one, the prose was so lyrical and really flowed. The stories were moving and, at times, read almost like a collection of folk lores and twisted fairy tales. I switched between physical and audio for this one and the audio definitely enhanced my experience.
This is also definitely one that I will be rereading as there is so much going on and so much to unearth in the prose that I'm sure I missed some of the nuance which I look forward to finding in a second read.
Thank you @4thestatebooks for my review copy.
