Michael Afenfia has unveiled his seventh book, Head of the Baptist, a captivating collection of short stories and poems that explores themes of identity, belonging and perception.
Published by Paperworth Books, the highly anticipated work is now available for readers nationwide, both online and in bookstores.
Known for his unique storytelling voice, the Nigerian author continues to push literary boundaries with this latest release. *Head of the Baptist* promises to resonate with readers who enjoy thought-provoking narratives and richly layered prose. In an interview, Afenfia shared how the book contributes to ongoing conversations about identity, particularly among African immigrants. “Perception is reality,” he said, “but often, those perceptions are shaped by incomplete or inaccurate information. This book is my way of offering a more nuanced view of who we are and the experiences that shape us.”
The author also said the book is for a wide audience. “It’s for anyone—people who read to learn and people who read for fun,” he explained.
Described as a journey, *Head of the Baptist* invites readers to reflect on their own understanding of identity and belonging. Afenfia chose not to prescribe a specific takeaway, instead encouraging readers to form their own interpretations. “I’m always curious to see how people respond to my work,” he said.
