Vagabonds!

'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' Akwaeke Emezi, author of Freshwater 'I'm in awe of Osunde's writing... I can't wait for others to delve into the joyous, defiant world she has rendered for her debut novel, VAGABONDS!' Caleb Azumah Nelson, author of Open Water, in Entertainment Weekly 'Every year promises the birth of the next literary superstar... and 2022 is no different... Eloghosa Osunde's VAGABONDS! is an exceptional debut' i-D '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 'A novel as vivid and varied as the city itself' Harper's Bazaar '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 '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' T Kira Madden, author of Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls
