Walking on Cowrie Shells: Stories by Nana Nkweti

5.0

I really enjoyed this collection! Nkweti clearly writes from a place of experience as she explores everything from motherhood, to zombies, to tensions between African-Americans and African immigrants, to mythology and so much more. The frequent inclusion of pidgin was great, and reminded me of Nalo Hopkinson's "Brown Girl in the Ring".

A masterfully written glimpse into a part of this world that many of us are blind to.
