ZamaShort #18 The Zambia Wrap by Emmanuel Sigauke
ZamaShort #18 The Zambia Wrap by Emmanuel Sigauke
Josephat is a Zimbabwean man fresh out of a marriage and looking in lust for love in Sacramento at the dawn of online dating. Along the way he will meet a diversity of African-American women from all walks of life and be initiated into their complexities. He will discover many new truths about himself and the world he inhabits. With astute social commentary and intimate depictions of Sacramento, Emmanuel Sigauke brings to vivid life this period from this unique perspective.
“In ‘The Zambia Wrap’ Emmanuel Sigauke writes with an intimate, reflective and confessional voice. The lights of this story focus on issues of personal identity, charm, and social anxiety.”
— Memory Chirere, author of Somewhere in this Country.
