Sisonke Msimang was born in exile to South African parents-a freedom fighter and an accountant-and raised in Zambia, Kenya and Canada before studying in the US as an undergraduate. Her family returned to South Africa after apartheid was abolished in the early 1990s. Sisonke has held fellowships at Yale University, the Aspen Institute and the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and is a regular contributor to the Guardian, Daily Maverick and New York Times. She now lives in Perth, Australia, where she is head of oral storytelling at the Centre for Stories.
`Msimang deserves to be widely read and fans of Roxane Gay and Maxine Beneba Clarke, in particular, will not be disappointed.' * Readings on Always Another Country * `Msimang is a talented and passionate writer, one possessed of an acerbic intelligence.' * Saturday Paper on Always Another Country * `Msimang pours herself into these pages with a voice that is molten steel; her radiant warmth and humour sit alongside her fearlessness in naming and refusing injustice. Msimang is a masterful memoirist, a gifted writer, and she comes bearing a message that is as urgent and timely as it is eternal.' * Sarah Krasnostein on Always Another Country * `Few of us have felt the grinding force of history as consciously or as constantly as Sisonke Msimang. Her story is a timely insight into a life in which the gap between the great world and the private realm is vanishingly narrow and it bears hard lessons about how fragile our hopes and dreams can be.` * Tim Winton on Always Another Country * `It is rare to hear from such a voice as Sisonke's-powerful, accomplished, unabashed and brave.' * Alice Pung on Always Another Country * `An extraordinary portrait....An essential addition to the intersectional feminist archive.' * Better Read Than Dead *
