The Lost Spell by young (embattled) author Yismake Worku describes the corruption and proud history of Ethiopia from the perspective of a proud businessman who has accidentally turned himself into a dog. This novel about dehumanisation will be introduced by Amharic translator Bethlehem Attfield in an in-person event with the Anglo-Ethiopian Society in London.

Pop the goddess lens into your eye for a fabulous postmodern trip that makes itself as it’s unmade. There you will be woven into the creative despair, profound insight and helpless joy of a mind on fire.
Cherry Smyth, author of Famished
A dog-on-the-road view of contemporary Ethiopia that is at once a critique and a bittersweet love letter.
