To launch the new Chronic (a graphic issue), we’ll be having a special event this Friday 18 July at The Book Lounge, 71 Roeland Street, Cape Town:

Swami Sitarama Dasa, the black guru formerly known as Zebulon Dread (of Hei Voetsek!), in conversation with Gael Reagon. Excerpts from the new edition of the Chronic can be previewed at www.chimurengachronic.co.za, including Binyavanga Wainaina in Dakar with Youssou N’Dour and Achal Prabhala‘s essay: the cosmic lives and afterlives of Zebulon Dread.

Copies of the new Chronic and back issues will be available to buy on the night.
