Author Navid Kermani, recipient of The Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, is one of the most important intellectual voices of his generation and an astute observer of our present day. Now, he has traveled from southern Madagascar via the Comoros, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia to the Nuba Mountains in Sudan and brings eastern Africa to life in his new book In the Other Direction Now. In this clever and insightful travel memoir, he weaves in the big topics of our times – from war and climate change to fundamental questions of identity and existence.
