VAGABONDS EXAIIE PB

'You don't read this novel. You swan dive into its sea of gods and monsters, lost girls, violent boys, and well-behaved people both righteous and wicked. And when you finally surface, that sound will be you, gasping in wonder' Marlon James, author of A Brief History of Seven Killings

'Some of the most spectacular writing I've ever encountered in my life ... VAGABONDS! brought me to tears because it gave me a world in which my country could be home again' Akwaeke Emezi, author of Freshwater

'A feast of a book, a marvelous ode to spirits and outsiders that is irreverent (and painfully funny) while being serious enough to drill a hole in one's chest. There is nothing in the world like this book' Lesley Nneka Arimah, author of What It Means When A Man Falls From The Sky

'Osunde's gasp-inducing novel takes us to the Lagos streets with an ensemble of misfits and vagabonds, each with their own stories of queerness, personal demons, all-consuming love... Immerse yourself in Osunde's kaleidoscopic world' AnOther Magazine

'Full of surprising, tender, biting language, Eloghosa Osunde's VAGABONDS! sets a stage where gods play personal games with human lives ... this novel astounded me' Dantiel W. Moniz, author of Milk Blood Heat

'A triumph. In Vagabonds! you will discover... an explosive portrait of Nigeria that will blow your mind - in prose that feels so alive it practically vibrates off the page. A masterpiece' Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Book of Joan

'A dazzling, hypnotic portrait of lives lived on the margins ... the binary of reality and fantasy is shattered in poetic, kaleidoscopic color. In the roots of the city of Lagos ... remains an unfettered truth: there is community even - especially - for the displaced, and in the struggle of outsiders lives the most radical potential for hope' T Kira Madden, author of Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls
