‘The art of telling my stories lies in saying the right things the
right way, but sometimes, and sometimes more importantly, it lies
in finding ways to say the things that are never said.’ The above
quote, taken from Emil Rorke’s ‘Poisoned Grief’, one of the
eighteen fine stories showcased in Queer Africa, beautifully
captures both the motivation behind and urgent need for this
anthology. Each of the authors represented here has found just the
right way in which to talk about the things that are too often
silenced, too often denied or violently opposed. Each one has also
interpreted, explored and represented the theme ‘queer Africa’ in a
unique way, resulting in a diverse and ground-breaking collection
of short-form writing. Queer Africa brings together historical and
contemporary stories, affirming and disquieting stories, urban and
rural stories. It features characters who are rooted firmly in
their countries and cultures, and others who could live anywhere in
the world. At its heart, the collection celebrates the diversity
and fluidity of queer and African identifications and expressions,
offering a sometimes radical re imagining of life on the continent.
The stories courageously – and often in surprising and delightful
ways – challenge assumptions about what it means to represent
particular human experiences. As such, this collection of
well-crafted and absorbing stories is for everyone: male and
female, queer and straight, young and old, African and non-African.
