WINNER OF THE WINDHAM-CAMPBELL PRIZE
How far does one have to travel to find home elsewhere? The stories in Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi’s collection attempt to measure that distance. Centered around the lives of Ugandans in Britain, Let’s Tell This Story Properly features characters both hyper-visible & unseen―they take on jobs at airport security, care for the elderly, & work in hospitals, while remaining excluded from white, British life. As they try to find their place, they drift from a home that feels further & further away. In an ambitious collection by the critically acclaimed author of Kintu, Let's Tell This Story Properly explores what happens to those who leave.
