Sam Bokarie is an ex–African warlord who moves to small-town Canada to capitalize on its zealous hospitality. Based in part on a notoriously vicious figure, this debut novel responds to this warlord’s mysterious disappearance by imagining what would happen if he turned up in Canada and aligned himself with an ambitious but clumsy politician.

The Beggar’s Feast was longlisted for the 2013 IMPAC Dublin Literary Prize.He regularly reviews for The New York Times, Harper’s and The Globe… More about Randy Boyagoda
