Eloghosa Osunde on VAGABONDS!
"Each time I wrote a story that belonged in this book\u2026 It held some pain. It held some love. It held some hope, some longing..."\xa0
Eloghosa Osunde\u2019s debut novel Vagabonds! is an inventive, mythic whirlwind through the city of Lagos, Nigeria. Told through interconnected short stories, this raw, painful, and ultimately hopeful work sheds light on an often-unseen world and its diverse inhabitants. Osunde talks with us about the significance and spark of inspiration behind the title, writing a novel in an uncommon format, the feelings she wants to leave her readers with and more with Poured Over guest host, Jenna Seery.\xa0
