'A gripping tale of homecoming and loss... ruthlessly honest and
startlingly beautiful... profound and unforgettable' Maaza
Mengiste, author of The Shadow King 'Daring, intellectually rich,
and unsettlingly hilarious. We have a powerful new voice in Maya
Binyam, one who knows how to make a story sing' Alexandra Kleeman,
author of Something New Under the Sun 'A subtle and peculiar novel
about subtle and peculiar things - home, exile, injustice, family,
return and life itself... a remarkable book' Keith Ridgway, author
of A Shock 'A strikingly masterful debut... a clean, sharp,
piercing - and deeply political novel' Namwali Serpell, author of
The Furrows __________ A man returns home to sub-Saharan Africa
after twenty-six years living in exile in America. When he arrives,
he finds that he doesn't recognize the country, or anyone in it.
Thankfully, someone at the airport knows him - a man who calls him
brother. As they travel to this man's house, the purpose of his
visit comes into focus: he is here to find his real brother, who is
dying. Hangman is his tragicomic journey through homecoming and
loss. It is a hilarious and twisted odyssey, peopled by phantoms
and tricksters, aid workers and taxi drivers, the relatives and
riddles that lead this man along a circuitous path towards the
truth. This is the strangley honest story of one man's search for
refuge - in this world and the one that lies beyond it. An
existential journey, a tragic farce, a slapstick tragedy: Hangman
is the shockingly original debut novel about exile, diaspora and
the search for Black refuge, from a thrilling new literary voice
