Evocar el continente africano desde una perspectiva novedosa y emocionante es el principal propósito de Los deseos afines, antología ganadora del Lambda Literary Award en 2015. Buscando dar respuesta al tradicional rechazo que en buena parte de África se ha mostrado a las historias que abordan la diversidad afectiva y sexual, esta obra indispensable y oportuna reúne dieciséis relatos y dos extractos de novela que destilan amor, alegría, sufrimiento y coraje.Sus autores, entre los que se hallan grandes nombres de las letras africanas contemporáneas, echan mano de una amplia gama de registros para hablar sobre los múltiples significados de ser "queer" en África. Basculando entre lo general y lo particular, entre lo político y lo íntimo, estas narraciones africanas contra la homofobia trascienden cualquier etiqueta para hacerse eco de los conflictos raciales, geográficos, bélicos y sociales que determinan la compleja realidad africana.
