Africa39: New Writing from Africa South of the Sahara by Ellah Wakatama Allfrey

3.0

Wole Soyinka's introduction lays down a path for some of the finest African writers. With mostly unknown names, this collection could have been a wonderful "get-to-know-new-author" anthology but unfortunately didn't deliver on its intent.

While some of the stories are near perfect narration, many ended up being handful of chapter from their own respective long form of writing/novels. This was stifling in experience as there was no definitive end for some of the "stories". [Stories is a strong word because they are essentially first one or two chapters from a novel.]

Story reviews soon.
