Sulaiman Addonia in conversation

Join Sulaiman Addonia for a discussion around his extraordinary forthcoming novel, The Seers (Prototype Publishing). This urgent, empowering book follows the first weeks of a homeless Eritrean refugee in London, and grapples with how agency is given to the sexual lives of refugees, presenting gender-fluid, trans and androgynous African immigrants, and insisting that the erotic and intimate side of life is as much a part of someone’s story as ‘land and nations’ are.


Witten in one gripping, continuous paragraph, The Seers moves between the present day and the past to explore intergenerational histories, colonial trauma, and the realities of the UK asylum system and its impact on young refugees.
