Wasafiri 115
Wasafiri 115 is our most classic Wasafiri issue yet, with articles on Han Kang and 'diasporic dysphoria', interviews with Claudia Piñeiro, Witi Ihimaera, and artist Poulomi Basu, plus a wide range of poetry, fiction, life writing, and reviews.
Wasafiri 115, our autumn general issue, comprises work from across cultures, nations, and languages, in fact from every inhabited continent; we dip into genres we haven't often published before, like detective fiction and crime writing, with reviews specially showcasing voices from South Asia and its diaspora.
With further articles on Han Kang and 'diasporic dysphoria', interviews with Claudia Piñeiro, Witi Ihimaera and artist Poulomi Basu, plus a wide range of poetry, fiction, and life writing, this makes for our most classic Wasafiri issue yet.
