Passion and apathy, creation and destruction, honesty and deception — the blurred lines between these forces are fundamental to the human condition. In three parts, the writers investigate these liminal spaces and rail against the boxes in which others seek to confine them, as writers, as Africans, and as humans.
Journey from the fantastical Heaven's Mouth where time stands still, to a London bus where a neurodiverse woman steals love to the songs of Tom Jones … flip the page to Ghana to examine a fertility fetish, or a post-apocalyptic Lesotho where sentient AI uses our emotions against us … visit the deceptively beautiful islands off the Tanzanian coast, where the ocean is always hungry, and women pay the price. Captive is a riot of imagination, a collision of worlds, and a testament to the shape-shifting nature of the soul.

Paperback. English. Karavan Press. 2025. Good Condition.
