Standing Heavy by GauZ'
A sharp, vignette-driven portrait of life in Abidjan told through the eyes of a young man who survives by doing odd, day-to-day jobs; through darkly comic episodes and keen social observation, the narrator maps the city’s informal economies, gendered power plays, and the lingering effects of colonialism and globalization, revealing how dignity, hustling, and violence intersect in the struggle to survive and belong.
