Hardly Working: A Travel Memoir of Sorts book by Zukiswa Wanner

Hardly Working: A Travel Memoir of Sorts is a lively and reflective travel memoir in which Zukiswa Wanner documents a journey across several African countries and beyond with her partner and son. The trip is part literary tour, part family adventure, as she visits book festivals, reconnects with friends, and experiences different cities, borders, and cultures along the way.

Through humor and honest observation, Wanner reflects on what it means to travel across Africa as a writer, the challenges of movement between countries, and the joy of sharing African literature with wider audiences. The book blends personal storytelling with cultural commentary, making it both entertaining and insightful.
