Wasafiri Issue 99, Autumn 2019: General Issue: Wasafiri: International Contemporary Writing (English Edition)

Wasafiri encourages readers and writers to travel the world via the word. Since 1984 the magazine has been publishing the best international contemporary writing from a diverse range of cultures across the UK and beyond. Wasafiri challenges established literary canons by creating a unique space for distinctive new work that transcends borders and labels.

The dynamic, fresh writing we feature stimulates cross-cultural dialogues, which are brought to life through innovative live events. Wasafiri is well known for finding ‘the best of tomorrow’s writers today’, whilst simultaneously celebrating those who have gone on to become global literary voices. The magazine publishes literary articles, interviews, creative writing, reviews and illustrated essays on the visual arts in both general and Special Issues.

Translation and the vexed issue of the relationship between writing and politics are not unfamiliar subjects in the pages of this magazine. This third issue of our thirty-fifth anniversary year is no exception. As will be evident, many essays, interviews, poems and reviews speak directly to the politics of our times and foreground the challenges facing writers, however different their backgrounds, in confronting the ethics of representing the legacies of past and present histories of suffering, violence and loss. The writing collected here spans a number of different regional geographies and periods and demonstrate that stories written within repressive and unpalatable political contexts often shift into myth and fantasy. This issue also features the winning entries of the 2018 Wasafiri New Writing Prize — Deirdre Shanahan (Fiction), Len Lukowski (Life-Writing) and Danie Shokoohi (Poetry).

We welcome original submissions from new and established voices from all cultural backgrounds, which are peer-reviewed prior to acceptance. We are particularly keen to receive lively essays on recent work by contemporary writers or interviews with them. We are also open to proposals for Special Issues of the magazine.
