The intensely inventive novel by Eloghosa Osunde follows a series of characters for whom life itself is a form of resistance.
These are stories set mainly in Lagos, and the city itself also becomes a mythical, divine character that stands above everything and everyone – except for the one omnipotent entity that is above even the city itself: money.
The author introduces us to a group of people, mostly marginalized, struggling to survive in a world often callous, the invisible passersby of a city that comes to life.
The vagabonds of Lagos may be gay or lesbian, transgender, poor people trying to make a life in a society of corruption and inequality, unwilling to conform to gender norms, individuals who live, breathe, and move beyond the boundaries.
As their lives intersect – in bustling markets and underground clubs, in churches and hotel rooms – these vagabonds are possessed and challenged by spirits that govern the city's dark energy.
Whether they are running to escape danger, meeting secret lovers, finding their identity, or conquering their shadows, Osunde's characters confront and support one another, before being led to the one gathering in their lives, which gives the book an unexpectedly joyful conclusion.
