Travelers

"Travelers" by Helon Habila offers a profound exploration of the African diaspora through the lens of a Nigerian graduate student living in America. When he relocates to Berlin with his wife for her arts fellowship, he begins to encounter a community of African immigrants and refugees, challenging his previously insulated existence. As he engages with their stories, the boundaries of his identity blur, leading him to confront themes of loss, connection, and the quest for love and home. This evocative narrative captures both the haunting and illuminating aspects of the universal journey.
