We'll be talking to him about his new book Str8 Up Queer African. In this book, Nick “crafts an unflinching, yet delicate tapestry, of queer African existence. The volume, an assemblage of short stories, essays and poems lies in anticipatory stillness, ready to awaken the curiosity of its readership Mwaluko’s prose and verse, to navigate the treacherous waters of coming of age, the metamorphoses of transitioning, and the scars of violence borne by those who inhabit the intersections of multiple marginalized identities.”
