andrew61 Looks intriguing, i love finding African writing. 5y

jveezer Wow! Those look awesome. I'm trying to read my way through Africa. Nigeria is pretty accessible but try finding a writer (in English) from Chad or Mauritania or Benin.

Leftcoastzen @andrew61 watch for them in the cheap book bins ,these are all Heinemann London. 5y

Leftcoastzen @jveezer I suppose it‘s difficult,my guess is if they are from those countries and translated , they are in the language of the colonizer? 5y

jveezer @Leftcoastzen It is my misfortune to only be able to read in the languages of the colonizers but I do love to read the rare writers who are translated from their own language, like the Gikuyu of Ngugi wa Thiong‘o. (edited) 5y
