McClelland & Stewart acquires Elamin Abdelmahmoud's COLLECTION OF PERSONAL ESSAYS

BuzzFeed editor Elamin Abdelmahmoud's SON OF ELSEWHERE, a collection of personal essays about what happens when you spend years running away from an identity or an idea about yourself, only to run into it head-first at the finish line of adolescence, grappling with notions of belonging, blackness, masculinity, and Muslim-ness (and the mystique of The OC) from the point of view of someone who immigrated from Sudan to Canada as a child, one year before 9/11, to Jared Bland at McClelland & Stewart, for publication in fall 2020, by Martha Webb at CookeMcDermid.
