Don’t miss the launch of Welcome Mandla Lishivha’s memoir Boy on the Run at Book Circle Capital (13 Oct)
More about the book!

Join Welcome Mandla Lishivha for a discussion of their memoir Boy on the Run at Book Circle Capital.

‘It is the godly feeling of dancing like a goddess and snapping on a beat with sheer joy that makes all the trouble life demands worthwhile. In these moments, of intensive freedom from pain, of joy that knows no bound and peace that passeth all understanding, I become that kid again, dancing with my mother.’

Published by Jacana Media, Lishivha’s exquisitely crafted memoir is unlike anything you’ve ever read. Boy on the Run is a staggeringly beautiful and honest exploration of identity through grief, love and friendship, giving us, the readers, a glorious song of self-expression.

Often when we read heartbreaking headlines of women tragically killed by those who claim to love them, we hardly think of those they leave behind.
