Description
The Hay Festival brings its 39 Project to Port Harcourt, Nigeria, to identify the most promising writing talents under the age of 40 from Sub-Saharan Africa and its diaspora. From the list of 39 writers chosen by the judges, editor Allfrey has selected stories, extracts from novels, and other writings, many never before published, to create a collection of some of the most varied and exciting new work in world literature.
