Award-winning Nigerian novelist, Chika Unigwe, revealed to The PUNCH on Saturday in an interview that her new novel, “Leaving Meshach,” will be published by Dzanc Books in the United States in the fall of 2022.
The Enugu-born writer is most notable for her “On Black Sisters’ Street,” a novel published by Jonathan Cape in 2009. The novel foregrounds the tragic lives of four immigrant African women — Sisi, Ama, Efe, and Joyce — helplessly trapped in the net of prostitution in Antwerp, Belgium.
