THE LIONS DEN - IRIS MWANZA GEBUNDEN

Bessy - Willbess - was a dancer  but that isn't all he did for money. He dreamed of leaving
Zambia with his lover for the queer heaven of San Francisco. Grace Zulu was still fresh from
the village  donning her suit and covering up her childhood scarifications each day to go to
her corporate law job. Born with a highly developed sense of justice  she was excited to meet
her first pro bono client  what she encounters in the jail cell  however  is a badly beaten boy
with chipped teeth and an eye that's swollen shut. Within two weeks  Bessy has disappeared from
custody - apparently released but no one sees him again.    Navigating the baked-in homophobia
of Zambia's colonial legacy  the confused hurt and rage of Bessy's nuclear family  and the
tensions between Christian kindness and its propensity to hate the sinner  Grace must pursue
her legal case while tracking down the wily  dangerous owner of the club where Bessy was first
arrested.
