«The Weekenders: Travels in the Heart of Africa» is a travel anthology by Alex Garland, Irvine Welsh, Tony Hawks, W.F. Deedes and others, in paperback.
It brings together stories and chronicles by seven British writers who travel to Sudan and turn their experiences into very different snapshots: remote villages, conflict zones and encounters such as Tony Hawks composing a song with a Sudanese tribe. The collection offers a plural and surprising view of a territory of great beauty, but also a turbulent one.
Published by Ebury Press in 2001 in English (352 pages), the book features on its cover the Travel Book of the Year badge from the WH Smith Awards 2002.
For lovers of travel literature and short stories set in Africa, with a contemporary British perspective.
