The Butterfly Jungle - Diriye Osman

Descriere The Butterfly Jungle - Diriye Osman

\n \nMigil Bile is a confidently curvy, tea-spilling, super-bright, slightly-dizzy queer British-Somali journalist with schizoaffective disorder and sauce to spare. Ensconced deep in the drama of being a twenty-something, working-class South Londoner juggling one too many gig-economy jobs, wonky mental health and romantic wackness, he takes the unsuspecting reader on an existential meditation on immigration, Brexit, gentrification, sexual assault, the pitfalls of being a digital worker, what it's like when all your immediate family members are on the LGBT spectrum, and explores what constitutes community and kinship during a global pandemic.\n \n \n\n \nShot through with bombast and badassery, fusing Somali, Spanish, Kiswahili, patois, sheng and hip-hop slanguistics into a sex-drenched, fourth wall-smashing blend of poetry, letters, essayistic excursions and interlinked short stories, THE BUTTERFLY JUNGLE is a tour de force and Diriye Osman is a bad bitch/good-natured motherf*cker who never takes mess (but doesn't mind splitting his lunch money with you.)\n \n \n\n \nAin't sh*t left to say.\n \n \n\n \nDig in, reader.\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \nDiriye Osman is a British-Somali author, visual artist, critic and essayist based in London. \n \n \n\n \nHe lives on a diet of Disney cartoons, graphic novels, masala chai and Missy Elliott records.\n
