Twilight of Crooks
The year is 1977. Jason Makelekele treads where angels fear to tread as he investigates the murder of an oil tycoon for his column. During a trip to Bonn, Germany, he is disavowed by his country and becomes a stateless person. While he wonders if he will ever see the family and friends he has left behind, Cold War Germany is historically charged with what will be remembered as the German Autumn-a set of events associated with kidnappings by the Red Army Faction. Midway between neo-noir, political novel and postmodern romp, Twilight of Crooks takes liberties with history, changing names and events such that the line between history and alternative history becomes blurred.

Le dialogue interculturel dans les romans et films camerounais à l'époque coloniale et postcoloniale
Cette étude passe en revue les dialogues interculturels entre Occidentaux et Africains et entre Africains appartenant à des cultures ou groupes ethniques différents, tels qu’ils sont représentés dans les romans et films camerounais de la période coloniale et postcoloniale. Le travail est abordé sous l’angle de la communication interculturelle et du transfert culturel. L’accent est mis sur la thématique de la traduction et le déroulement en langues africaines de ces dialogues, les réalités multilingues, la réécriture des genres traditionnels et le rapport entre dialogue filmique et romanesque.
Queer Africa 2: New Stories
In Queer Africa 2: New Stories, the 26 stories by writers from Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Uganda and the USA present exciting and varied narratives on life. There are stories on desire, disruption and dreams; others on longing, lust and love. The stories are representative of the range of human emotions and experiences that abound in the lives of Africans and those of the diaspora, who identify variously along the long and fluid line of the sexuality, gender and sexual orientation spectrum in the African continent. Centred in these stories and in their attendant relationships is humanity. The writers showcase their artistry in storytelling in thought-provoking and delightful ways.
