Danged Black Thing

Danged Black Thing is an extraordinary collection of stories about love and migration, gender and class, patriarchy and womanhood, from a remarkable and original voice. Traversing the West and Africa, they celebrate the author’s own hybridity with breathtaking sensuousness and lyricism.

‘Eugen Bacon gives us a cornucopia of dark fruitfulness. Her writing is equal parts fecund earth and fine-cut jewels.’
—MARGO LANAGAN, author of Black Juice and Tender Morsels

‘An immersive experience—provocative, mind-blowing, at times heartbreaking.’
—ANGELA SAVAGE, author of Mother of Pearl and The Dying Beach 

‘Driven by empathy for the eccentric and marginalised, a simmering anger at injustice and inequality, and a deep concern for the big questions—the scorching impact of climate change, the sharp double-edged sword of fast-changing technology, the destructive mania of dictators, and the immigrants’ deep pain at separation and ache at leaving the homeland. A true original who glories in language and gives uncompromising reign to the imagination.’
—ARNOLD ZABLE, author of Café Scheherazade and The Watermill
