Bookvine Publishers have released the official trailer and book cover for the latest collection of short stories by Nigerian writer, ‘Seun Salami, titled ‘The Sex Life of a Lagos Mad Woman’.

According to Moyo Larmie, Copy Editor at Bookvine and Project Manager for the release, “as sophomore books go, the ‘Sex Life Collection’ out on next Monday (13.10.14) is a brave, completely different proposition from The Son of Your Father’s Concubine, his first work.”

On the title of the new book, Larmie said the collection is being referred to as a ‘Sex Life Collection’ although it is officially titled ‘The Sex Life of a Lagos Mad Woman’, because it contains twelve fiction stories largely about the sex lives of characters like a celibate priest, a ritualist’s apprentice, a born-again Pentecostal sister, a popular charismatic pastor, a lesbian on the prowl and others whose diverse sexual experiences ‘Seun vividly portrays with his trademark simple yet suspense-filled prose style.

“The title story, ‘The Sex Life of a Lagos Mad Woman’ is the complete five thousand words version of one of the author’s most popular stories previously published on various online platforms. The story describes the secret sex life of a supposedly mad woman which eventually leads to her pregnancy and more consequences,” she said.
