Touching on global issues such as violence, sexual abuse, gender, performativity, marginality, migration and human rights, Abani’s work testifies to the centrality of his literary voice in the contemporary literary panorama. This book shows how aesthetics overlaps with ethics and how forms of extreme abuse may coexist with love and redemption.
