Your Feet Will Lead You Where Your Heart Is/ Le crépuscule des âmes sœurs

Stories

edited by Dzekashu MacViban, Nfor E. Njinyoh

Introducing a new generation of young Cameroonian writers, this bilingual anthology highlights new directions in the Cameroonian short story, as the stories move from fantasy, existentialism, afrojujuism to realism. An unusual narrator in "Spittle Royale" walks the fine line between empathy, radicalisation and primal instincts; in "Finding Jaman" a correction facility cleaner hoards objects belonging to executed inmates leading to an interesting discovery; in the eponymous title story, lovers reconnect after forty years apart, unearthing secrets that will change their lives forever.

The culmination of two workshops, one on creative writing and the other on literary translation, both followed by a mentorship period, these stories will remain with you long after you've finished reading them.
