In StockLagos is a city for all . . . you share this place with flesh and not-flesh, and it’s just as much their city as it is yours.
Èkó, the spirit of Lagos, and his loyal minion Tatafo weave trouble through the streets of Lagos and through the lives of the ‘vagabonds’ powering modern Nigeria: the queer, the displaced and the footloose.
Description
Tikwe Premier Books, based in Kampala, Uganda, brings you VAGA BONDS! by Eloghosa Osunde. Guided by Tatafo, this gripping novel takes us deep into the lives of those living in the shadows. Among them are a driver entangled with a corrupt politician, a lesbian couple whose tender bond offers a surprising glimpse into their experiences with underground sex work, and a mother drawn into a clandestine spiritual gathering that transforms her reality. As their stories intertwine—in bustling markets, underground clubs, sacred churches, and discreet hotel rooms—these “vaga bonds” are confronted by the powerful spirits that govern the city, pulling them together for an unknown purpose.
In her debut novel, VAGA BONDS!, Eloghosa Osunde masterfully explores the corrupt and oppressive forces of Nigerian capitalism while celebrating the resilience and defiance of those who turn life itself into an act of resistance.
