The new edition of From Joburg to Jozi: Stories about Africa's infamous city is out from Penguin Books as of 1 Feb 2010. Edited by Heidi Holland (Dinner with Mugabe among others) and Adam Roberts (The Wonga Coup among others).

Stories, memoir, commentary, poetry contributed by many, including a story from yours truly (titled The Staying Ground).

All proceeds to Cotlands, who care for orphaned kids with HIV/Aids.

A great way to get beneath the surface of a city that millions call home but that millions more are terrified of. Paired with Stephen Watson's edited volume, A City Imagined (about Cape Town), makes a great way to understand South Africa through its two largest cities.

Makes a great gift, and supports a worthy cause.
