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

4.0

A very mixed bag; a lot of different styles, genres, types of writing; short stories, poetry, excerpts from novels. But that was one of the most interesting aspects of the book - and what do you expect from something that is trying to encompass contemporary writers from an entire continent? Some were great, some terrible - but I got to read from a lot of countries that I otherwise might not have been able to track down very easily
