The Shape of Unbroken Things/ Ce qu’on ne brise pas by Comfort M***a (Commy M***a)

French translation by Marie-Helene Ngoah

Out in August internationally

Following a life-altering amputation, Iya struggles to rebuild her sense of self while navigating cruelty and alienation at a new school. Her growing bond with Mambo, a girl shaped by the quiet world of her mother, a woman with hearing and speech disabilities, becomes a powerful space of mutual recognition. Together, they confront the pressures placed upon them and find in friendship and art new ways of imagining themselves.

Produced by Bakwa Books with accessibility at its core, the publication is a bilingual English-French tête-bêche edition, inviting readers to encounter the story from either direction. It is also available in both English and French braille editions, and as an eBook, with an audiobook forthcoming, extending the novella beyond the printed page.

🎉

Iya a subi une amputation et peine à se reconstruire face à l'adversité, la cruauté et l'exclusion qu’elle endure dans sa nouvelle école. Mambo, une jeune fille marquée par l'univers silencieux de sa mère souffrant de troubles de l’audition et de la parole, tisse avec Iya des liens puissants qui deviendront un espace de reconnaissance mutuelle entre les deux jeunes filles. Ensemble, elles affrontent les pressions qui pèsent sur elles et trouvent en l'amitié et l’art de nouvelles façons de se réinventer.

Réalisée par Bakwa Books dans un souci d’accessibilité, cette publication se présente sous la forme d’une édition bilingue anglais-français tête-bêche, invitant les lecteurs à découvrir le récit dans les deux sens. Elle est également disponible en braille anglais et français, ainsi qu’en livre numérique, et un livre audio est à venir, prolongeant ainsi la nouvelle au-delà de la page imprimée.

Bakwa 12: The Lost Manuscript and Other Meditations


Bakwa 12: The Lost Manuscript and Other Meditations takes critical fabulation as a starting point; a deliberate act of speculative storytelling that reimagines the possibilities of literary history. Spanning Martinique to Mauritius, Yaoundé to Popenguine, this issue features a fictional reconstruction of the disappearance of the original handwritten manuscript of Things Fall Apart; Ernest Jésùyẹmí’s follow-up to his widely discussed essay, “Is Contemporary ‘Nigerian Poetry’ Nigerian?”; a portrait of Suzanne Césaire that restores her central place within Tropiques and the Surrealist movement; and three double-page maps by Moses März deconstructing the literary feud between Chinua Achebe and Ayi Kwei Armah. Alongside poetry, essays, short stories and visual interventions, Bakwa 12 asks what survives the archive and what slips beyond its reach.

Contributors include Nkiacha Atemnkeng, Monique Kwachou, Savanna Morgan, Ernest Jésùyẹmí, Moses März, Dzekashu MacViban, Sabah Carrim, Lubi Barre, Adama Keïta, Autricia Timti, and Lorena Nolwen Lekeufack Kamaha.
