Alert! Kevin Bloom’s Ways of Staying is headed to UK indie imprint Portobello Books, in a deal announced yesterday Bloom’s SA publishers Pan Macmillan / Picador Africa.
A story at once deeply personal and edifyingly public, Ways of Staying is one man’s journey into the heart of a country that remains riven and undefined. From the murder of the author’s cousin in 2006 to the hills of Zululand mere weeks after the death of historian David Rattray, from the fateful ruling party showdown at Polokwane in 2007 to the xenophobic attacks of winter 2008, here is a book that ventures far beneath the headlines and into the very marrow of a strange and troubled land.
Congrats to Bloom! Here’s the press release - in the form of a jpg flyer - from Pan Macmillan:
